Q: teaching with X visa?
hi. i am a foreigner in china. i am a student too. so i have an X visa. I have signed a contract with a school for one year, i will teach to kids there. I just want to ask that i am a student here and its illegal to work while not having working visa. so u see my visa is a student visa. so if the police find me or catch me. what they will do? send me back? its my last year. so i don't want to lose my degree. next year i will go back for intern. so please tell me clearly what will happen? thanks

You are against Chinese Law, if you are working and receiving pay without Working permit, butt....so they are many other teachers in China.
Nobody can tell you what will happened to you, if somebody decide to enforce Law.
If you are caught, like anyone else if caught, if you are lucky you may spend a short time in jail, be deported, and banned to re-enter China for at least 10 years. If not so lucky, your stay in jail could be longer, and eventually deported. Maybe also a monetary fine.
China is on a drive to stamp out persons working illegally, not the right time to take such a risk in my eyes. But it is you who must decide. It is not that difficult or expensive to change your X visa top a Z working visa, just process the paperwork, and continjue legally.
