Q: Have you left China during COVID?

I went to Shanghai these days, shockingly I can rarely see an expat there now. Shanghai does not look like Shanghai anymore, many bars are empty without foreign customers. I do not know how long they can survive?

How many of you have left China?

I haven't seen any statistics around this but I've heard of people who were traveling when the covid hit China, it was around Chinese New Year - the place shut down and they were unable to return - I'd imagine there were quite a few in that situation.

 

A lot of others with no real commitments in China probably left when it started getting scary and have since not being able, or not wanted to return.

 

The people who stayed... my guess would be a lot of them are married, have a family there and so maybe don't hang around in the bars as much as other expats might so you probably wouldn't see them around.

It has nothing to do with married. Many married guys still like to hang out at bars and buy themselves a drink. It is the covid. I was planning to go to USA, sadly I can not go now

Only low class trash hang out in bars. The stereotypical semi-functional-alcoholic foreigner not being around is not something to lament.

Maybe you just got WOKE and no longer judge people by the colour of their skin. You should start a movement. FLM could work.

The correct and only answer to Viki's question is 23.

 

Now, let's draw some wide sweeping conclusions from that datum point.

Viki87:

You are such a narrow minded man.

A lot of my clients hang out at the bars. They are not trash, instead they are well respected husbands/father and successful in business.

Yeah... Nah! Dan is correct. They are trash. Bars gather trash. Being a functioning alcoholic getting blowjobs in a bar carpark while your wife and family are back home isn't something to aspire to. But if you're into that sort of trash lifestyle, go for it. I'm sure you will meet some fascinating intelligent upstanding people and maybe get laid in a pristine toilet stall while other drunks bang on the door and piss on the floor... lol

You two are trash. My team will go buy drinks in the bar after a long day working in exhibition. My clients like that too. Going into bar doee not mean sex. You are a true low class

Viki87:

There are a lot of bars around exhibition centers, we business people like to go take a drink after a long day working in exhibition. So we are all trash and go there only for sex? Grow up, only low life person connects bar to sex. Even the five star hotels I stay have bars. You can have sex anywhere, including office, it is about the person not the bar itself.

With this narrow mindset, you are not getting anywhere in your life! I always try to avoid people like you, judgmental and narrow minded!

I as a modern business lady, I appreciate woman privilege, do what I want, not what the men want me to. Understand?

Bar for me is a place for relax after a long day at work or I often take my western clients to some fancy bars on the Shanghai bund, it makes my clients happy while enjoying a good drink and seeing the beautiful bund at night. I have business in Europe, go to work at 7am, often completes work at 6pm, I often have dinner and drink in the bar near the exhibition hall or  in my hotel bar

 

Some guys often say women dress revealing is slut, I say a woman can dress sexually and show some boobs outside or show the nice butt in tight dress. Nothing wrong to show your body if you like it, if the guy thinks you are slut, leave him.

 

Often time, men say a woman had so many men in the past is slut but if a man had so many women in the past is fine. Excuse me? You just make me laugh. A single woman can do whatever a single man do. 

 

A true slut is a mean person who hurts other people and heartless, including male and female.

I agree Viki.  Plenty of hiclass bars around the business world.  And of course a girl can dress sexy and cute. Been done since the beginning of time and men (and women) condone it and to turn around and condemn someone for it is more a comment on the 'condemner', or however u spell it.  Reminds me growing up in that Puritanical America,,,,  gross,,, they condemn sexuality on one-hand and promote it on the other,,,, no wonder we have such a bunch of conflicted neurotics in our population.

Have a drink/Dress nice/ and don't worry about someone trying to belittle you for it, they just have personal 'issues'.

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
