- 📝 They need to sign service agreements with agencies appointed by local foreign affairs offices, laying out clear terms on legal rights, benefits, and protections for Chinese employees.
- 🔒 The goal? To make recruiting smoother and safeguard the rights and interests of Chinese staff from signing to workplace.
