Q: Can you go to the police for an order of protection from another person in China?

Good or bad idea? Background info: Tier II City both sides were violent but only one side sustained property damage. the other side retained few physical injuries. Would the police involve all parties if only one person went to the police. Does it work like home, as in, the first person to go to the police will receive protection from authorities and accept their story? Or is it different, in that it might backfire when involving authorities in a civil dispute or private affair. Finally, what is a person to do to gain protection from someone while living here? Thanks for any 'civil-minded' responses!

It will all depend on how much you pay them. If your hongbao is bigger than the one from the other guy, you'll be ok. If not, you're screwed! (NB: hongbaos are non-refundable!)

 

You may think this is a non-"civil minded" response, but unfortunately, this is the truth... The police in this country are lazy and often very ignorant of the law. And they certainly do not want to have to deal with a foreigner.

 

(there are exceptions to the above, but they are rare...)

When in doubt the police lock the foreigner up.
After all foreigners always are the cause of trouble in a harmonious China

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
