China: moving money out of China:

i stay away from western union except in emergency. also anything that gets a %. yes china has pay pal accounts. if its a large amount and one time or just here and there i use the bank. international transfers pay a SWIFT fee of less then $50 again why it depends on the amount u send if its worth it to you its safe and secure. i transfer one of my retirements entirely each month to china and some of what i make in china back out when it gets to a certain size. if cost me less than $50 each time. that's why i say depends on the size. at small amounts a % is not a lot but can ad up. bigger amounts its better to KNOW your money is safe and worth a little to get it there. just my 2cents worth and preference. but u got 2 do what makes u feel right and fits your budget. but be aware of using ANY service you personally have no experience with. There are too many scams out there and once its gone you likely wont get it back

China: Looking for Expat Employees:

I suggest at first you include your city in the topic header for each new topic you begin to help yourself focus on an area or group of readers geographically. China forum covers all of china. people reading it don't know where you are or where you need help by default. its always easier when you look for people if you start a topic that way. unless its a topic for all of china some expats live in one city but may need help in other cities as they expand rather than their own. best of luck

China: I have been cheated in nanning by a hired translator:

Sorry to hear this, but it happens often. I am married to a Chinese, I have been going to China and working with the Chinese since 1984. I live in China also. If I can give advise I will be happy to help. NO FEE, NO CHARGE, I would just like to help others avoid some of these common scams. Good luck to all of you
