I don't know, if you can get international cashier's check in Chinese banks.

 

You could get first hand answer at the Bank, where you're holding an account.

 

In most Banks in China, there is somebody who speaks English.

I usually ask Bank employees for any, not really banking info I want. Addresses of Gov. institutions, and so on.

Last year, SPD Bank employee called FEB in Yingkou, Liaoning, and set up an appointment for me. She gave me their address, too! At the School I was working at that time, nobody understood what I am looking for.

 

I am guessing, if Chinese Banks don't deal with international cashier's checks, they'll for sure know how you could post money outside of China.

Int'l money orders are a thing of the past thanks to the 419 scam. ICBC main branches used to cut certified cheques (checks fer you yanks) in eight different currencies. It's a lot of paperwork but I had to do it and it all worked out in the end (expect a delay for clearance once the receiver gets the certified cheques).

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
