Q: Why were the power and scale of eunuchs severely limited during the Qing Dynasty?

As I recall, the eunuchs in ancient China were very powerful. For example, the eunuchs of the Tang and Ming dynasties.

Because after the Manchus overthrew the Ming Dynasty, they learned the lesson of the Ming Dynasty's demise. One of the many lessons was the trespass of eunuchs. In Chinese history, the Tang and Ming dynasties were the two happiest dynasties for eunuchs. As an example, the Ming eunuch Wei Zhongxian was second only to the emperor. He was also known as "Nine Thousand Years Old". This meant that his power was second only to that of the emperor. After Wei Zhongxian gained absolute power, he upset the political balance of the Ming Dynasty. Worse, he made the officials of the whole dynasty obey his orders. Otherwise, both officials and commoners would have been subjected to political attacks from him. Therefore, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, having witnessed the dangers of eunuchs arrogating power, strictly limited the size of eunuchs and their power.

Xi Jinping’s Internal Great Wall

Like the Great Wall of generations past, Xi’s Internal Great Wall will continue to keep China behind the rest of the world because a nation that suppresses its own people is not a nation the world can trust to do business fairly.

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 from student to labourer visa 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
