Ok since you’ve discussed this several times before I’ll take the bait. Assume someone is a US citizen currently outside China with no relatives in China and no job in China and no intention to work in China and has no existing visa and no existing residence permit. They only want to go there as a tourist and are willing to pay whatever fee is necessary including quarantine. Also assume this person is ridiculously stubborn as they are on FT.

How do they get a residence permit? You know an agent who can get a PU Letter for a job that doesn’t exist (and that this hypothetical person doesn’t even want to do, except for on paper)? And can shortcut the line in front of all the English teachers and other people applying for legitimate jobs?

Thanks in advance.
