Foreigners to Face Employment Restrictions in Guangdong
Xinhua: South China's Guangdong Province is drafting a regulation to restrict the employment of foreigners and to ban them from certain jobs.
Under the proposed regulation, the provincial labor and social security department will divide jobs into three categories -- "encouraged", "restricted" and "forbidden" -- to be published annually, said a spokesman with the bureau.
For jobs in the "encouraged" category, the prospect foreign employees will be issued permits. Employers will be charged fees for hiring foreigners for "restricted" positions.
The employment of foreigners without permits will be illegal, said the spokesman, without indicating specific jobs in the three categories.
Foreign students and foreigners without residence permits are ineligible to work without government approval, and they risk fines of up to 1,000 yuan (about 130 U.S. dollars) for working illegally.
This act was intended to cut crime among the growing number of foreigners illegally residing and working in Guangdong, said Yan Xiangrong, a deputy of the province's people's congress.
An estimated 10,000 foreigners are living in Guangdong, many of them financially insecure and involved in crime, such as drug trafficking, fraud and theft.
In the first half of this year, 102 foreigners were arrested on criminal charges, more than triple the number of the same period last year.
The local public security department plans to set up a data base at the end of this year, recording information of foreigners' visas, residence status, travel and departure and entrance registrations.

...As they lack a good command of the English language and discriminate.
Seems to me Caringhk that you need an English tutor.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that your English language skills were so wonderful.

I welcome those restrictions.
There are basically two kinds of laowais I wish to be screened out this way:
Those that come here to do crooked "business", i.e. laundering of money or pushing drugs.
Believe it or not but these two felonies are common pastimes among footloose people from developing nations with whom China has recently entered into mutually privilegeing relationships. I don't mean to stereotype an entire continent's natives because I know from my own experience that nine tenths of them are honest but the one-tenth that has the means to transplant themselves abroad are the crooks that get washed ashore in China or the West.
Any white in China is even one of the prime targets of the crooks described above.
Then, there are the civilization-fatigued who backpack their way around the world, paying for their needs with money generated locally. Very often, these people delude themselves and others by professing to be "culturally interested", which they may or may not be to a certain degree.
The problem is that if you don't have the funds to travel abroad you should not go there in the first place. Where these folks hail from, foreigners from developing countries - including China! - have to apply for a visa, and visas are only granted if and when applicants can meet certain means tests.
China does not impose means tests on visitors. It doesn't even require them to have outbound/return plane tickets.
That is why so many cash-strapped backpackers (of course from developed countries) arrive here penniless, and need a job. Any job.
I am no friend of such people!

Yes, many "crooked foreigners" also like to cook up stories about reality!
Is bad influence!
We need to create a new law that would "forced the populace" to withdraw 30km from the coastline!
this will save many Chinese from contamination of foreigners!
I support the NEW LAWs!

That's interesting; I didn't know the provinces possessed that authority. I wonder if they actually do.... would depend on what terms a work visa is issued on.

When I read this announcement...
... it reminded me of Idi Amin's speeches to rid Uganda of all asians. What was his words? "You came to build the railroads. The railroads are built. Now go home."

Well, this an so much PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMs in Guangdong must be a PAIN IN THE ARSE for those "mentally stable" with "Unitrack" minds!
All other are PSYCHO and needs to get ELECTRIC JOLTS and put in STRAIGHTJACKETs.
ha ha ha
This reminds me of SINGAPORE! In Singapore, Uncle Lee did mention that MENTAL PROBLEMs are the highest in the world. In FACT, Uncle Lee is the only SANE person in SINGAPORE! and he judge all others to be INSANE!

Mr. Amin died in a hospital with his love ones beside him, unlike many in the country he ruled. This was another case of a Son of Bytch that in the end, no wanted to claim as theirs. Suffice to say - it will be interesting to see where this anti laowai attitude takes China - given the Olympics and World Expo are still have not been completed yet.

Mental illness has been used well by many AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS!
"Authoritarianism" should be considered a "mental ailment"

controlling the foreigners........
As I say normally. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear! As simple as that.
China has very specific visa types and rules. As long as you abide by the rules, nothing has to be feared.
Of course, as Seneca and others have pointed out, all those who run around "pushing drugs" or "money laundering" are bet set outside Chinese borders; wherever they come from!

Agreed longzhou, if you have nothing to hide, there should be, hypothetically, nothing to fear. Despite the admonissions of some here,. I do love this place and also would like to see any foreign negative influence kept outside China, including criminals. To be here, as chairman said in one of his posts, is to obey the law and if you don't, you have to pay the price......the same goes in our contries too so why should China be any different...............it shouldn't!

Fact is trader that any country is going to look at where the problem is coming from.
Maybe a bit like the Americans with people of Arabian decent.
China generally has very polite and easy going police and as kiwi says if there's nothing to hide.....
My comment about Chinese customs was meant to be a mild one and i just see more scrutiny...
and nothing like the yanks treat all of those Aliens.
Aliens?
Aliens?
Aliens?
Do they have a passprt from Mars?

Judging from my wife's english classes...
... people from Jordon, Iraq, India, and other places of Arab and/or Muslim origin are doing just fine. Unforenuately, @$$holes are a universal human trait.

And since @$$holes are universal...
