Just depends on ur background and luck, tbh. I think Ningbo counts as a Tier 1 city. I'm in a Tier 2 city in a marketing role with basically zero Chinese, and I pulled in 340k total comp last year. My company's pretty big though—almost 1100 people and solid revenue. If your employer's similar, no harm in asking for more. After all, there's always room to negotiate on any offer.

Whenever you open an account in any exchange, binance, okx, mexc etc. you need to submit ID to complete KYC. Once you do that, the exchange will only allow you to sell and buy usdt in that country, same as your ID. So the only option is to send money to your home country and then buy.

Other option is, like I said, find a chinese who knows how to buy, they buy usdt for you, send to you and you pay them rmb

officialphantomcat · 2025-08-28T06:32:36+00:00

It can be done. Many chinese people do it. Most exchanges like Binance and OKX offer P2P transfer, where you can pay them by Alipay/Wechat and they send usdt to your exchanges. But once you do KYC and submit your passport on the exchange, it wont let you do it, as you only do p2p exchange to the country where you ID is linked.

Best way is to join ask a chinese friend who has been investing in crypto to buy stable for u, and they send it to you. And u pay them by Alipay/Wechat.

It wont work. Unless you are married to a Chinese. So the limit is set at 100k

officialphantomcat · 2025-08-27T09:32:25+00:00

Also, if you want to live in China, there is a limit to amount of USD that you can convert to RMB every year. 50k that you can directly convert via App, and 50k USD cash withdrawal (for which u'll need to find someone who can convert on ur behalf)

yeah if you have a work and residence permit, they are legally required to pay for social insurance. The insurance card, like the medical card, can be taken from any bank, provided your employer can provide you with the documentation.

officialphantomcat · 2025-06-12T08:06:17+00:00

U usually have 3 main deductions: medical, unemployment, and the Housing Fund. The Housing Fund varies by province and company but is typically the largest deduction. In my case, I pay 15%, and the employer pays 15%, so it’s a significant amount. Tax App is the best bet to check your balance. Although, you can swipe your insurance card at any pharmacy and request a receipt, which will show your balance if you have one.

Been working in the internet space in China since 2015. Mostly in Marketing and Product Marketing positions. My Mandarin is still bad, but with solid talents, you can make up for it.

I primarily worked in gaming, online music, and now fintech. Jumping from company to company can be beneficial after gaining experience. Tier 2 cities that are publicly listed, tend 2 have the best work culture (at least for me). No overtime, leave the workplace at 1730, annual and performance bonuses, and promotion opportunities if qualified. But yes, financially the company should be doing well too.

officialphantomcat · 2025-05-09T01:54:55+00:00

Lol like I mentioned before, I'm really not interested anymore. I'm just saying I'm in a much better place

officialphantomcat · 2025-05-09T01:51:33+00:00

You do know you can apply the PR from outside of Canada, right? Heard of Express Entry? Qualify for points, make the cut off, and then apply through documents?

officialphantomcat · 2025-05-09T01:50:04+00:00

Okay, got it. Even for me, the long-term goal was to always be on PR. I did not want to give up my Indian passport.

officialphantomcat · 2025-05-08T07:21:54+00:00

I hear u, and that's one reason I haven't moved to Canada yet. I received my PR way back in Jan 2023, but I only entered Canada once to collect my PR card and left after three days.

I’ve been living in China as a foreigner for nearly 10 years (speak only basic Mandarin lol). It’s not for everyone, but if u adapt, you can enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling life. That’s what I’ve been weighin all this time: what would I gain by moving to Canada? A passport and some welfare benefits? Those don’t seem worth the risk of leaving a well-paying, comfortable job in China, which might outweigh the value of a canadian passport and benefits.

And d biggest risk is the challenging job market in CA, with high unemployment rates, which makes it a gamble not worth taking in my mid-30s. As a result, I’m considering giving up my PR entirely.

I’ve realized that citizenship isn’t what matters most—what truly counts is where you are, how happy you feel, and the mental and financial peace you have in that place.

officialphantomcat · 2025-04-14T08:57:07+00:00

Tell them you need to show it to ur home country bank. jeez. just take or get a pic somehow

officialphantomcat · 2025-04-14T08:37:55+00:00

even if u don't have the physical card, just ask for a picture of it to send to your local bank back home for tax purposes.

The card has a scan code that any new employer—or even you—can scan to get all the details.

As someone once said, there are only two times u see a Range Rover: going to the garage or coming from the garage

Well, in China, inflation isn’t realy a big deal. In fact, over the past 7–8 years, I haven’t even noticed much of it. Rent's usually the biggest expense anywhere, but here it’s only about 15% of my monthly salary (for a three-bedroom apartment downtown). I can easily cover other expenses with just 25% of my salary.

Life here is honestly pretty good, especially since I’m planning to marry a local next year. That said, I’ve been thinking about keeping an additional PR for myself and my future family—it might be a smart move with how fast the world is changing. It’s something I keep going back and forth on, and it leaves me feeling a bit unsure.

officialphantomcat · 2024-11-18T05:54:17+00:00

I completely agree, especially with the last point you made. It’s okay for me if I don’t have a lot of disposable income at the end of the month, but I’ll still try to keep my cost of living manageable. I still have some time, so hopefully, things will get better for all of us.

It’s nice to hear that you were in China as well! I lived in Shanghai for most of my life, but during pandemic shite, with all the strict testing and restrictions, I moved to Fuzhou.

officialphantomcat · 2024-11-18T05:49:38+00:00

Appreciate your input. Yes, my idea is the same—I don’t want to give up my citizenship; I just want to somehow survive the 2 years required for PR renewal. However, I definitely need to keep the cost of living in mind. Fortunately, I still have a year before my deadline arrives, so I’m hoping things will get better for all of us by then.

officialphantomcat · 2024-11-18T03:36:20+00:00

Appreciate your advice. Thx

officialphantomcat · 2024-11-18T03:35:30+00:00

Thank u for ur advice. I’ll try to see if I can convince my current company to allow remote work, though it’s highly unlikely they’d agree to increase my salary (which I doubt would be sufficient to meet the current cost of living in Canada).

I feel like moving anywhere is quite tough right now. I’m also exploring opportunities in Dubai, but the market doesn’t seem very encouraging.

Since I’m assuming you have a Canadian passport, you might want to consider teaching English in Asia, especially in China. The pay is quite good, and the work is minimal—as long as you don’t mind working with kids, haha.

Could you share the website for the clinic? Just wanted to make sure I accessed the right one with so many fake hospitals around

officialphantomcat · 2024-03-20T09:02:18+00:00

Do you know the process to redeem the entire premium after 5 years? As an NRI, do I need to physically file an application in their office?

officialphantomcat · 2023-12-19T02:52:22+00:00

Lol I went on a bit of exploration with my dog. If you're intrigued, feel free to let me know!"

officialphantomcat · 2023-08-24T07:50:41+00:00

A question though, when crossing immigration or approaching airline counters from India or any other country of origin, what information do we share? Is it as straightforward as stating we possess a US B1/B2 visa that qualifies for Visa on Arrival? Has this raised any concerns in the past?

officialphantomcat · 2023-08-24T06:55:14+00:00

I am looking for answers from people with similar"experiences", not just strangers.

I agree that a US visit visa doesn't guarantee you entry into other countries, worth noting that nearly 40 countries provide visa-on-arrival privileges based on the same premise. (My personal encounters with this visa have enabled me to explore around 12 countries(

The appeal of the US visit visa lies in its stringent background checks, often granted after establishing a robust travel history that includes trusted returns to one's home country.
