For those of you still wondering if the pre-Olympic easy visa days are going to return or not, here's your answer. They are a thing of the past, so don't look back because they ain't coming back anytime soon. Three months after the Beijing Olympics, the police are still maintaining their vigilance and conducting spot checks by knocking on residential apartments and offices to see if you are really what your visa application says you are. A Filipino maid has just been ordered to leave China for falsifying her documents. In her application for a residence permit in September, she claimed to be a Shanghai branch representative of an international company but was later found by the police to be working as a maid for an executive of a foreign-invested company.

The tough Visa rules were always aimed at Southeast Asians because they are the ones that take jobs away from locals. Westerners usually have a way out, via guanxi or flat-out bribery, but Southeast Asians get a much harsher treatment.
Looks like she committed fraud. Begone, Filipina!!
So what happened to the employer? or the alleged company she worked fro? Hopefully they too were fined for a violation of teh law?
The laws themselves make sense but obvioulsy if the enforcement of these laws is not done properly, there is planty of room for abuse and discrimination.
Soon China will become USA of the East where those who can't make it in their own country will want to get in, to look for a greener pasture!
