Q: How safe are 2nd hand furniture?

A sofa, for examples. Do you have to disinfect it after buying? I wouldn't want it to be full of bugs crawling up in my flat!

I would say it is as safe as it would be in any other country.

Could you expand on why it is not like Europe?

I have not bought any second hand furniture here yet, but I would consider it, and check it before buying it the same way I would in any country.

Why would i pay full price, plus the Westerner fee, to keep a sofa for a few months? It's way easier to buy a used one, especially since 2nd hand market is large enough here!

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
