Dear Person,

 

So I added this app to chat to my Chinese friends and great, we can all be friendly and like everything and post silly pictures blaaaaaaaaaaah abd have a err wee chat?

 

but some have a hidden agenda and post pictures of fake goods that they are trying to sell me, such as jewelry,clothes and toxic perfume...I just don't know what to do!

 

I'm their friend and I don't want to delete them! Should I promote there illegal activities or just blacklist them!

Yes, they sell all manner of fakes in wechat. Just ignore them. You don't need to be their customer. A lot of them moonlight by selling stuff online. It's normal in China.

WeChat will turn into a sales platform. There is a big group of people in China whose only access to the internet is via phone (no PC or internet connection at home) These people are too big a group to not target.

 

If you friend is trying to flog some handmade shit once in a while, let it be. Probably not worse than so many other posts with "actual meaning"

Don't take it too seriously, unless this gets really invasive.

 

As for me, I wouldn't see a problem in being very direct on that matter even with my friends.

Forward Question

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
