Don't think I've ever met a Pakistani person in China (and I live in Beijing). Perhaps there a larger population of them closer to the boarders?

 

Thakkudu: I remember in my old university IR courses we'd talk about China's relationship with Pakistan being larged based off of the U.S.'s containment policy and it's strong relationship with India as part of it. In addition, as you note, China and India have border disputes, but at least to my understanding these are mostly a non-issue. Now all that being said, this was close to a decade ago that I took those courses, and relations might have shifted since then.

 

Any IR scholars out there care to chime in?

Because conditions in China are better than they are in Pakistan.

It is because of a lot of Pakistani students in China for study purpose,Secondly Pak-China share common border so it offer a plus point for Pak businessmen's to directly travel China.( These both conditions bring money in China)

If we talk about how many Pakistani are living in China for job,i think they are much less in number compare to any other nationals.Very difficult(less than 2% chance) for Pakistani nationals to get Z visa.Even both country have good relationship then also more than 95%  of Pakistani people can not get extension on F visa.

GuilinRaf:

When I was teaching in Guilin, the vast majority of the international students were from Vietnam. However, they really dont quite like each other.

Don't forget that China invests a lot of money into Pakistan via scholarships.  Many of the Pakistani students that win them will most likely come to China considering the subsidy. Also Chinese educational firms are pretty much either on par with theirs or better. If the language barrier can't be crossed, they still sometimes have options of programs taught in English too.

Why there are are so many Pakistanies in China? Well, why so many foreigners, Western foreigners in China? As philbravery has told you it's for the same reason you're here too. And I am sure there is a lot more room for many other people you may not like. As a foreigner I am the same as you and any Pakistan people. We are non-Chinese and we are looked upon as being in a place that is not our Country. Some of them won't welcome us, no matter how much of good we ensure to their kids' future as teachers or the Country's future through our "know-how" in any professional field. Some would welcome us for specific reasons but only because they can get something out of us in a cheap way. And I am sure there are so many Chinese who like you are asking: why so many foreigners in China? Asking this sort of question it just highlights you as someone who may believe he is worthy of better people than Pakistanies. Just get used with them Doug and be happy. I hope they don't prevent you from being happy as a foreigner in China.

Wow! I have been living here for awhile and I've only seen one person from Pakistan it was a young girl in her early 20's. Besides her I've never seen or met another Pakistani person living here.

I did not see any Pakistanies. When I was told I do not speak proper English, I used a gay British accent which the Chinese could understand, but if I used a Pakistan accent, the Chinese could not understand a word I spoke. There can not be many Pakistans if the Chinese haven't heard them.

GuilinRaf:

Lol!

You remind me of someone I knew in Guilin. She was of the mind that Americans and Canadians do not speak "real English" and that the universities in China should hire  only if they are from England.

She was also believed  that Canadians were "disguised Americans".

On top of all that, she still had the gall to complain that she did not have any foreign friends...

it is in the best long term interest of china to influence pakistan in the event of radical islam created problems and illegal entry to china's western border, china also has had problems with muslims like most countries but they deal very aggressively with the problem usually with bullets.

Friendship, such a great concept. I could provide security there but I am afraid the pay is too low, pity.

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
