Q: how to proceed with violence against you at work from ex-employees

In the UK we would be able to call the police and file a complaint against someone who beat you up and start a court case for damages... I have been threatened several times now and my colleague (who is Taiwanese) was heated badly by an ex-ployee who was dismissed due to his poor work. He then returned with friends and beat him up. He is also one of my good friends and I introduced him to the company and feel really bad that he has been beaten up for helping me. I am from England and have been in the Nantong, Jiangsu area for over 5 years. I employed my friend as General manager as he could speak Chinese and had experience also in this area of China although he grew up in Thailand.

We called the Police and they came eventually, but I have no idea of the law and how to deal with this. I want the offender to be punished legally and pay for his crime, but whether this is possible knowing the cultural differences and local Guanxi ties, I fear we are not going to get a satisfactory ending.

Any comments are appreciated.

He's actually not rich, but it was mainly the punishment in terms of arresting him and how we stand. Thanks for your answer anyhow, it appears we have some positives to come out of this.

Nantong use to be a great little city. There was a high percentage of foreigners there, and a good social life. Unfortunately, many of the good people left because the shipyards cut back due to world economy. However, many illegal foreigners from a particular bar that promotes a culture of binge drinking and sexual harassment have caused a lot of angst amongst the locals. Not Nantong specific; it happens everywhere.

I think the police will act in Nantong, as there is a foreign business owner/manager involved. They would like to keep the good foreigners. There are still a lot of good people that Nantong would like to keep, as well as the ones they simply can't get rid of. Just in case, contact the Nantong Mediation Centre. They are a free service to assist foreigners in these sorts of situations. They are English speaking lawyers, and have good guanxi.

Are both parties your friends?
If you are from England, do you not know that if someone treatens you that you SHOULD head butt him? Then stomp him. Don't take crap. If you lose then you lose, get it over with.
Who has time for police and courts.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
