I guess it would depend on if you were a national or a foreinger, and then, what was stolen. A third componant would depend on who you knew...

A hand slap for some, jail time for others  and I'm sure everybody knows what the last thing would be if somebody got caught stealing.

From the lowest possible punishment to the highest possible punishment. Locked in jail losing face or just a warning.

It was in the news some months back.  A shoplifter was caught by Wal Mart employees stealing from their store in a Southern China city.  They gave chase when he ran away, and caught him up, and beat him to death.
Is that typical ?.  I guess not, but from nothing to die is the range you must consider prior to shoplifting.  Is it worth it ?.

Yet, from my observations while shopping, there is a lot of that going on here.

I heard of a French guy busted for stealing a scarf. Was in jail until they did the paper work to boot him out of the country, about a week I think.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.
A:  If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be
A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information.  I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
