This is the fourth video of the China Law 101 series. I am actually very excited to talk about today’s topic as it is an extremely popular question that I have seen numerous times in my groups, and it is - Does the dreaded, scary blacklist for expats exist?
A lot of expats working in China have received a threat from their job agent or employer that sounds something like this: If you don’t do this, I will put you on a blacklist. You will never find a job again and I will kick you out of China. This sounds absolutely terrifying for someone who does not know the law, so I am here to clear this up for you once and for all. We will analyse this topic from 4 perspectives, which are the employer’s perspective, work permit system perspective, , administrative law perspective and criminal law perspective.
Employers can make an internal blacklist for their branches or subsidiaries, or fellow agents that specialize in expat headhunting. However, note that this kind of a blacklist is only internal and it certainly does not affect your chances of looking for additional employment on a macro level. If you had a bad experience with one of their branches, I believe you wouldn’t want to work for another one of their branches, would you?
