You do not need to send passport copies or sensitive documents to start a conversation.
Understand the route
A job discussion and permission to work are separate steps.
China’s official guide explains that foreign nationals working in China need the appropriate work permit and entry or residence documents. The employer has a central role in the permit process. The applicable route depends on the position, applicant and location.
For a useful first conversation, prepare your intended field, education and experience, preferred city and whether you already have an employer. We can then identify which questions need an answer from the employer or the competent authority.
