Q: Would not wearing a seatbelt have a big impact in Chinese court?

Was the front passenger in a taxi car crash and I'm trying to sue the company for damages. Problem is as most taxis don't have seatbelts I didn't even think to check if there was one, and therefore wasn't wearing one during the crash. Anyone know if this would dramatically affect court findings as in Europe its purely the driver's responsibility.

Wearing a seatbelt is required by law now which can result in 2 points off your license if caught. I'm not sure about the driver's responsibility for passengers, but I've had taxi drivers require me to buckle my seatbelt before. If your taxi didn't have a functioning seatbelt, then that would probably be material to a suit. However if the taxi did have a functioning seatbelt then I'm not sure if it's your fault or not.

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
