Apple is seen as a luxury item that will give them magical status in the eyes of other Chinese people.

Firstly to give themselves face. They just want to be seen with luxury items.

 

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, most of them cannot drag themselves of QQ for more than a minute!

Just like covering one's dry ass with a piece of velvet (actually instead of ass it should be frontal part)

Somewhere in this world we have a saying for such show off...........

Apple are popular every where. At home Apple products are worth more than others for resale. I wish I had bought an iPad instead of my Thinkpad. The Thinkpad is heavy duty, but heavy.

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
