i think you asked the wrong question it should be does anyone have any common sense in china and if so what could it be   ... i know for a fact no one driving here has any common sense including me but at least i follow the rules  driving here reminds me of a video game i used to play

siyingyuan:

wonder if anyone ever tried to drive in a "full of common sense" western way in China, and see what happens?

  I'm not so sure they lack any. I mean people drive like they're drunk but isn't that because road rules aren't enforced and China's roads are so new to vehicles that don't have baskets and bells? Road law and road etiquette evolves. China's just had a bunch of cars dumped in it and been told, "Go drive." At 44 i'm certain i've been driving longer than 99% of the population. So I don't think common sense is the problem 'there' any more than anywhere else. What are the other areas where their common sense seems flawed?

Chinese often have no kind of common sense, but they do share a common stupidity with some things they believe. No thinking for themselves, no imagination.

 My common sense leaves when I think with the little head.

mArtiAn:

  Hold up a minute, if they don't have common sense, then it ain't common sense or it would be 'common', so they must have common sense 'cause it's common, that's just common sense.

I think they have plenty of common sense...their own kind of common sense. Of course, it doesn't make any kind of sense to anyone outside of China. But look at all the things we used to think were common sense that have been debunked only recently.

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
