If you are in USA, Radio Shack is a sure bet, maybe $ 30 at the most.

If in China, some larger hardware stores will carry them, if I recall one name right, BM in Guangzhou carries them.

Depending on use, make sure you get one with the right wattage, and plugs too.

Are You sure, that power supply for You electronic is not multi-voltage?

In USA (110V) I used european stuff with no problem (also made for 220-240V), laptop that I bought in States also works in europe and china with no problems, with no voltage reduction (only changed a plug).

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
