The man was spotted delivering packages during routine police checks in Dongying. Officers recognized him from a prior visit and recalled he held a reunion visa—one that prohibits employment.
Upon further inquiry, it was revealed he had been using his wife's identity since March to work for a local courier company, without securing the proper work permit.
Chinese immigration law is explicit: foreign nationals must obtain appropriate work authorization before engaging in any form of employment. Violators face administrative fines between 5,000 and 20,000 RMB. In this case, both the individual and the employer were fined 10,000 RMB each.
Legal Context
According to Article 80 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, illegal employment by foreign nationals is subject to fines and, in severe cases, detention.
Employers and individuals who facilitate such employment can also be penalized.
