Q: Vendor honesty in China

I sometime is suspicious about vendors selling scam and fakes. I know prices are cheaper here because most product are made in China, so no cost for exporting, but I was wondering if they bound to any rule stating fake is faek and real is real. Halp?

I assume you mean quality standards?

I'm sure they do, though it probably doesn't mean much. It'd be a little like the food quality standards, which don't mean a damn thing. Just another bribe here and there to get the necessary permits.

It's generally obvious though, if you're buying a luxury product, the shop has to meet the standard of the good. And if the price is too good to be true, and the vendor is being emotional and aggressive in selling the product, then it's usually fake.

Use your common sense, PoutineduFion, and you'll be fine.

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
