The reason was that a foreign training teacher, who was also a college student in the institution, was on the job without work permit and work residence permit, and the behavior had violated the provisions of work-study.
The training institution was also suspected of illegal employment. Both the parties involved and the training institutions were investigated and punished for illegal employment and employment.
So, what should foreigners pay attention to when working in China to avoid illegal employment and protect their rights and interests? Let's get it!

The maximum term of a labor contract is five years, and if a foreigner wants to continue working after the contract expires, the employer needs to apply for an extension 30 days in advance.
Foreigners are required to comply with China's labor laws and regulations and tax regulations. At the end of the contract, the employer needs to assist in cancelling the foreigner's electronic work permit.
