Q: Why don't we expats shoulder each other in finding International trade partners?

It is becoming increasingly eye-catching to be turned down by a foreign trader if he finds out that you are an expat in "that Chinese company". What difference does it make? Aren't we on the same boat? If it sinks, we sink together. I think there should not be a fear of whatever kind but instead a welcome-abroad attitude to work side-by-side equally with our Chinese pairs. You won't get cheaper prices with a Chinese salesman than an expat salesman. Instead, maybe you are better off with the expat when troubles come Smile. I mean, Welcome each one no matter who he/she is. 

Anyone has a point to share here? I would appreciate it.

I notice the same than you did. Are we arrogant? Afraid of each other? We like to be the only girl with that dress at the prom? Who knows...

It is quite amazing, isn't it? While Chinese themselves changent their names to foreign names to impress customers, foreigners in turn don't do business with their pairs in China. Something somewhere rings the odd. Smile

I for this idea too. If there is anything to do let's talk about it. Great idea. Maybe that would be the time to also show off with man more skills than only teaching and so do something  in the op's way.

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
