As extensively reported, the new “Entry Exit Law” comes into effect on July 1. In the most recent post on Chinese media on the issue, authorities are now stressing the fact that illegal employment will result in hefty fines for both illegal employers and employees.
According to the new rule, anyone who is caught facilitating the employment of an illegal foreigner faces a fine of 5000 RMB per illegal worker, with a maximum fine of 50,000 RMB. Each work unit that illegally hires a foreign worker will be subject to a 5000 RMB fine per worker and a maximum fine of 100,000 RMB. Meanwhile, illegal foreign workers themselves can also be fined 10,000 RMB for every illegal position held, up to a maximum of 100,000 RMB.

My guess the new visa rule will not hurt anyone, everything will be the same as it is now. Just new visa names

Lol...I kind of wish I could go back to the shitty training-center-for-children circus that I first worked at in China, just to see how those bozos plan on riding out the new policies. I managed to squeeze a Z out of them (I would have left those a-holes in a week if I hadn't), but they largely thrived on keeping idiots who didn't have the qualifications for anything but an F. My guess would be that the dumpy excuse for a 'school' will fold in a month.

sometimes I really surprise how chinese govt make some law without thinking about the effect on there citizen both home and abroad, one of the significant of a develop countries is to be fexible in some issues, mostly when it comes to illegal immigrant, the issue of illegal immigrant has become global crime, where all the countries citizen commit, no country on this planet that can say his citizen are not living illegally in another country, morealso dont forget that chinese citizen are the most emmigrate people on earth, go to any country in this world you are going to see chinese village or town, and 70% of them are living and working illegally, but come to china, no one country have a street talkless of a villiage. The chinese Govt and people should know that 70% of foreign student here in china come to study and work to support there education, once they are not allow to work as foreiging teacher, i think there is no need to come here to study, because chinese cartificate are not recognise in another country apart from china, and chinese people who are now expose to English language will fall back to squre one again, and chinses citizen living in another country will share out of it too, more tham millions of chinese are living and working illegally is United State alone, Chinese Government should tamper Justics with Mercy

Same law. Different year. This is what they say all the time. Hope it would cut down on those undercutting actual teachers in China. Perhaps a fair wage can be implemented some day but it is just the same law, just the next year. It is happening again, it is happening again..... and to troll. God i wish racist Chinese pricks would get their girlfriends or wives stolen from them from evil foreigners.

Honestly, less competition means a higher salary. So I'm a little happy.

That's what I'm hoping will happen. I'm sick of my salary prospects getting constantly driven down by a sea of idiotic alcoholic pricks with no degree, no certificate (or a 20 dollar one they got from the internet), and no work ethic or any other standard. To say nothing of having to weather the stereotype of the ESL teacher in China, when even I completely understand why it exists (hell, before I blew off teaching kids for good, 75% percent of my co-workers matched it to a T).

Im not sure it is good news for your younger brothers and sister. with harder regulations in place it will mean less teachers around (they will bugger off to an easier country that isnt so xenophobic) meaning to have a native English teacher teach your children or your brothers and sister will cost $$$. Right now there are students here learning chinese and paying for it by teaching english. If the government clamps down on them, why should they come to china? China is all about knowing people, and people who know people, its how business is conducted here. I know that companys are terrible at answering emails so how are exports supposed to stay strong when quite a few of the deals going through at the moment have at one time gone through a foreign teacher here (ie, meet someone at a bar, or restaurant, find out they are in the business of supplying wood, just so happens you have a friend in the UK who is looking for a new supplier of marine grade plywood. put them in contact, deal is made... before the deal is made, the UK company was looking at India as its cheap there and reliable). If the new visa things messes up, they will unofficially calm the rules down a bit, if that doesnt work, they will change to a new set of visa rules or go back to the old ones, either way someones head will officially or unofficially roll for any negative impact it has on the country.
