Q: Know who Nathan Rich is? Is he payrolled?

Was just watching a Youtube (you know, kind of a web site where people can upload videos) 

He is dicussing the view some has that it's fair US bans some phone company because China has banned some social media site. And he says this isn't really a sane comparison. And I tend to agree if it's just those two companies. But the list of banned companies is just much much longer than one.

Nathan Rich was supposedly a brain washed stockholm syndrome victim of scientology and escaped its clutches and wrote a book about it.

 

Some how he got hooked up in Hollywood for special effects with science fiction since scientology follows those theories, was a good match for an occupation.

 

Since China wants to be hollywood also they brought nathan over and did some movie everybody said was good that i have not watched, in the process of making a box office hit in CHina, he gets the royal treatment and only sees the good side of China and now has become a moughpiece for Pro china like he used to be a mouthpiece for scientology, so he has a new master but he thinks its his choice. The guy is covered in tatoos and bald headed, so his job does fit his appearance, not sure he could do or be hired to do anything else. He has consistently attacked other china vloggers on you tube and learned the language and writes it as well. I don't know if he is getting paid or does for good graces for future movie production money, but his sudden notoriety in China is suspect.

Sounds like he fit right in as an English teacher and be hired right away.lol He actually looks quite normal compared to a lot of the reprobate I see running around here.

Must be a culture province thing, in 10 years in Shandong, I have never seen a teacher hired with tatoos or even a piercing, certainly my school would never hire them.

Now that I think about it it's been mosly girls with tattoos. Seen a few girls with complete arm sleeves and tramp stamps on their backs. Seem one weird fuck one time with black lipstick and black nail polish wearing this weird black shit with chains on it....and this was a dude. Sure not all schools will hire these people, but a whole lot will. I seen most of these people when I was in hangzhou. I dont see people like that much anymore...all I see now are English teachers who cant speak English...but they look like they can.

To the point of your comment. Something does seem suspect with how popular he is in a short amount of time. I think a lot has to do with him being able to do whole videos in mandarin. There is something funny with YouTube though. They kept deleting his subs. Don't know much about it. Just heard about a few months ago and lost interest.

It's ironic when you think about, China suppresses bad press but wants good press, so you get a mouth piece Baghdad Bob to praise you like Nathan, but now you need Chinese people to put up subscribers to get his following up, but you have the great firewall and youtube can see 2000 subscribers coming in from the same ip address because you have to use a vpn and they don't know if that really is 2000 individual subscribers and more importantly, they can't track, advertise to them, or make money off of them, so they get deleted. Live by the firewall, die by the  firewall. Poetic nerd justice I suppose. Now on the other hand if you are into conspiracies, Serpentza is now living in San Diego, had a business sponsorship for a green card through you tube and suppressing any videos that would affect the money and following of him might be in the financial best interest of you tube and being anti china might keep the censors of the current government off their back.

I heard about him not through a china vlogger but a censorship vlogger. At one point I think he had close to a million subs. And then it seems YouTube kept deleting his subs. I'm not sure why, im thinking it was because most Chinese where using a vpn and that had something to do with it. And then I heard he had a criminal record for drug offenses. He does seem to shill for china though. It could just be he loves china. I mean it spent the time to learn the language quite well.

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
