Can foreign students work in China?
This question is frequently asked by students who come to study in China. Yes, it is indeed possible to work in China as a foreign student, although it wasn't possible before 2013.

To do so, you need a type X visa to study in China. In fact, there are two types of student visa.
The first is the x1 visa, which is granted to students who wish to study in China for more than six months.
The second type is the x2 study visa, which is granted to exchange students or those who do not wish to stay longer than six months in China.
