A very interesting question. I don't believe in China, such concept exist. It's more related to an event rather than a single person.

If we think of the Yan'An rectification campaign or the Cultural Revolution, many people died, including top leaders, as a result of tortures or killing. They weren't properly assassinated, but the circumstances of their death were often politically motivated.

Lin Biao's death has also always given rise to controversy. I don't know if you can include it in your assassination attempts.

Anti-corruption official got stabbed 10 times and it was ruled a suicide by the same people he was investigating. If that isn't an assassination then I don't know what is.

I've heard of a few local officials being targeted in car bomb attacks by people angry over housing demolition. Other than that, due to the strict control of weapons in the country and the group over individual mentality, there aren't many assassination attempts by average people.

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
