| hi wangjianshuo, i've lurked on your blog for a while and i was wondering if you had offered up any advice to some commenters earlier asking about the prospects for work visas/settlement for skilled Filipino workers interested in China. i'm currently in USA but most of my family in the philippines who have training as engineers, computer entrepreneurs, doctors and nurses want to work in China instead-- it's much closer, more cultural ties and much more affordable. they've been learning Chinese at the Mandarin language schools in manila and quezon city mostly and two of them are almost fluent. one of my nephews is interested in studying in China, others just want to work there for a while. it makes sense for China to sharply restrict unskilled immigrants from the Philippines who can't contribute to the economy. but the skilled immigrants from Philippines and other Asian countries can contribute a lot and help to rapidly build the Chinese economy in areas like high-tech, pharmaceuticals and medicine. does China have a special visa program to facilitate work permits for skilled Asian workers like this? i thought you indeed had such a program but i don't know how to advise my family members on it. thanks for any help.
