I don't think it's literally "white" and "black" that you are referring to. People will say some thing is "black" but it's more along the lines of how in English you'd use "dark". So, when it gets really overcast or a storm is rolling in, you will hear people say that is getting "black" outside. White is used for light or bright. As least this is my assumption, hope it helps!

Same goes for people. Even Chinese with darker skin tones and complexions are referred to as "black", but it really means "dark".

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 student visa to labourer one 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
