sonofsteven:
Feel free to reply to my messages, I need small advice on this china trip pls

bro I trust you’re doing great, sorry I have been unable to access Nairaland for some time now, what do you want to know, ask me here please I can’t access my email tied to this Nairaland, that’s if you still need my input

Moss911:
Pls , I will like to ask, I hear lot of people stay in China for many years so I get to wonder what visa type or route do they migrate with especially when they aren't married to their locals.
Kindly enlighten me I have plan to move their to reside and trade as well.

hi sorry for some reasons I have been unable to access Nairaland from my end, just tried now and it opened luckily, about the visa, that’s one of the most difficult thing we deal with here cos even after living 100 years you’d still go to renew visa either every year or every 2 years and yiu can be denied anytime for any reason sadly..

Please bear with me, I’m trying to compile a lot of pictures, trust me when I start writing again I won’t stop till like 10 pages are occupied

Please those who sent me messages, and I didn’t respond, I have been finding it difficult to get into my mailbox

The booming Chinese Electric motorbike industry... another lovely topic I want to talk about

In need of iCloud locked or motherboard damaged iPhones, please mention me if you have any..

Side bonus, China is fully opened for business now, you can start applying for visas and tickets are cheaper now... so if you’ve been planning to visit China, for business, holiday, or For schooling its the time to start now.....

Okay, one interesting thing I wanted to talk about is the situation of the redesigned naira notes, why I wanted to talk about it is because something china actually did something similar years ago, before writing this I wanted to make sure I can get hold of the both old and new notes to really buttress my point, but in this country getting cash is relatively difficult unless you go to the bank, everyone smilingly use wechat and Alipay, but I’d still find a way to get it and then make an edit on the post.
Okay my point is this, few years ago China actually made a little design and color change on its 10, 20 and 50 rmb denomination, I think that was 2019/2020 cos I started noting the difference when I just got here, but the thing about it is, they didn’t make no announcement or even an awareness about it, no fuse or nothing, at first even some citizens didn’t know the new notes especially the 50 cos when I gave it as payment around that 2019, some older citizens didn’t accept they thought it was fake
But here we are 2023 and I tell you what, the old and new notes are still being accepted, nobody cares or ask questions about it, nobody even talks about it, and I can assure you that if you ask some foreigners living here today, they would tell you they didn’t even notice it..
now my question is why does everything about Nigeria have to be difficult? Why do we have to most time behave like animals? I mean see the situation of what’s going on? Even my Chinese friend who does business with Nigerians called me to ask why does the leaders who make things difficult for the citizens in Nigeria? I just didn’t know what answer to give him.. 2 things I can say in all this is 1 we never get any policy right, 2 a country as big as Nigeria with its enormous population should have a very reliable mobile money service, we don’t have to rely too much on cash, plus we need to do a lot more sensitization, to make people aware of this cashless policy it would have saved us a lot from all the stress we are currently going through right now...

Cousin9999:
Okay, but why would you want to be in China? Human rights basically don't exist there nor does the possibility of a foreigner getting citizenship or a green card. They, like all Asians (west, south, east), are notoriously racist. It's not just an attitude, your safety is compromised.

And there's nothing especially competitive about the education you get there. You have plenty of affordable, competitive education options in Europe and North America. No need to put yourself in such a terrible place.

typical Nigerian, making biased opinions about a place he’s never been or lived... congratulations

Limassol:
Does China allows international students to stay back after graduation? If yes, please explain the process.

they just started allowing students to work now, we don’t know yet, if they allow you stay back and work, but I know students who has been here for more than 7yearz, converting student visa to work visa is not really that easy also, plus if you get some certifications after your studies, and you can get a job which is mostly teaching, they can easily help you convert your visa...

In an article posted on the Chinese ministry of educations website, dated December 29, 2021 it is said to now be official…
International students are allowed to work in China now, this wasn’t the case before now, as foreign students have always been banned from working. But as of today the ban hasn’t been lifted officially and they are now allowed to work :Not more 8hours per week & 40hours per month.

During Winter & Summer vacation: work hours not more than 16hours per week & 80hours per month.

When I was told this, the idea seemed so straight and easy, but very smart and necessary, so from ground up that was how a billion dollar company was built, and today, they company has branched into so many subsidiaries like having his own dianping, mobike and few more.
For about over a year now or so, they’ve been experimenting on delivering foods with drones, which is another very smart and crucial initiative.
Currently I think that only works in Shenzhen, cos that’s only where I have found it.
But one sure thing is that, these people are constantly thinking of new ways to improve and make their lives easier via technology.. to understand more, download the 1688 app and go through the catalogue, see for yourself, what these people are inventing every single day. They got to understand that tech has no boundaries and they are definitely exploring it to the fullest.

Another beautiful tech idea I want to talk about Is Meituan. The Reason I want to talk about this is based on the simple idea that I was told on how it started, and it might be a profitable idea to tech gurus in Nigeria who might be reading this also.
So meituan is a good delivery service who is currently redefining how food is been delivered in China, and has in recent years expanded into so many subsidiaries as well.
So here is the idea I was told, millions of Chinese are very busy people working round the clock and they hardly find time to cook for themselves, which is why there are millions of restaurants and fast food, around every cities in China, if there’s one thing Chinese love to do other than look for money, it is to eat and drink.
And sometimes they get so busy that they don’t even have time to visit restaurants to get food, which was where the meituan idea came in, he needed to find a way to get this food from restaurants and deliver it to these workers without them having to leave their posts, but he didn’t have the much fund or resources to build a standard delivery company, so he built an app instead, the app called meituan, it’s like a mini program embedded inside the WeChat app and though they have their own app too, so what he did was ask restaurants to come register and display their menus on the app, for potential consumers to be able to see and order, but then some of the small restaurants couldn’t also afford to keep delivery guys to help take these ordered food to the consumers, so what meituan did is to also create a platform, just like Uber, were u can simply register to be a delivery guy, if I can afford to buy a small bike.
So people looking to make some small side cash, register to deliver foods with their bikes, and when customer orders food from a restaurant around them, meituan sends them a notification and if they are willing, they accept the trip, go pick the food and deliver to the customer, the restaurants doesn’t have to pay them, meituan charges delivery fee, based on distance, the rider gets his percentage meituan gets their commission, and the restaurants makes more sales. Everyone wins.

Technology being the forefront of this country’s advancement, another thing worth noting is that, aside the government, the people in this country, are constantly working and thinking of ways to improve their lives, they are constantly thinking of solutions to their problems, and they’ve seen that tech has a lot of solutions to their problems so they’ve chasing all tech ideas with alacrity.. and I think this is one thing we should learn as African, it’s time for us to leave religion and tribalism and start looking for ways to better our lives we have so many problems and for been honest, technology would solve 90 percent of our problems, and in turn it would turn so many young minds into millionaires also, all the government has to do for us is give us stable light, and a lot of things would fall in place, we don’t need to rely on the government for so many things, just give us stable electricity and enabling environment.. that’s all we ask for..

One thing I want to talk about, is something we’ve all heard over a thousand times. But I really need to stress this more for use Africans to truly grasp the ideas of what’s going on in the world right now.
And that is.
TECHNOLOGY..
Whoever started the statement tech is the future needs to be paid every single day for the rest of his life..
Not only is tech the future we are currently living in, tech has come to make our lives a lot more easier..
Everyday seeing the advancement these Chinese people are making in tech, gets me sad and happy, Sad that before we think of catching up, they probably would be ten times more than this already, and happy at the fact that I have seen firsthand how simple techs can really improve human productivity and make life a lot simpler and easier.. I wanted to create a thread, which I think I’d still do, for people living in diaspora to talk about reasons why they are scared to relocate back home, but I’ll talk about mine here, one of the reasons I feel weary anytime I think about going back home is the fact that, the simplicity of life I get here I don’t think I can ever find it back home, yes one of the best things I admire about living here is the fact that whatever I’m looking for, there’s a place to find it, i can wake up at any given time, and go wherever I want to go, I can wake up at 4am to go eat and I won’t be scared of nothing, If I don’t feel like going out, I can order whatever I want online and I’ll be delivered in at most 35 minutes, even if you want to travel from one city to another, like let’s say Guangzhou to Shenzhen by 4 am, u can simply open your share a ride app and you’d find a car to take you there safely, roads are clean and well marked, cameras virtually almost everywhere even on highways. I mean I could go on and on, these simple things is really what scares me whenever I think about coming home, how am I even going to cope without light? I can’t even remember the last time I washed clothes with my hands, not cos I’m rich but cos in almost all houses you’d rent here washing machine and Air conditioner is a necessity.. I mean life can be really very easy when the country is actually working

Good day famz sorry for the long wait..Just as I said I was going to start typing again, sadly I dropped my phone a few days back while riding a bike and the screen shattered, I nor get money to go buy original 11promax screen right now, so I’m currently typing from an iPhone6 and to be honest, I wonder how I was able to survive using this phone when it was invoke, well anyway that aside.
The things I really had the idea of talking about, would be really more interesting with pictures to buttress my points properly, but sadly the pictures are in my other phone, and I can’t post any picture with iPhone 6... but I’d do my best to give some updates and then when I can I’ll re edit and add pictures...
