Does the US Embassy in China sign a contract with the Foreign Affairs Bureau?

You should be a China employee of a foreign representative office in Shenzhen. Because the representative office has no registered capital and is incompetent, it is impossible to sign a labor contract directly with Chinese employees, even if a labor contract is signed, it is invalid; Foreign companies (such as American companies) should be truly responsible for your relevant labor relations, but if you have a labor dispute with the representative office, you can't go to the United States to file a lawsuit with American law. In order to prevent these employees from claiming compensation when their labor rights and interests are damaged, the China Municipal Government requires China employees of the representative office to sign labor contracts with local overseas institutions (designated by the government) and send them to the representative office in the form of labor dispatch. If there is any dispute, it can be settled through foreign affairs service.

Many candidates can't even tell the embassy from the consulate, so it's really embarrassing to interview an embassy in the consulate. It is also basic etiquette to make up the organizational structure of the intended unit a little before the interview. Generally speaking, the embassy is the highest-level institution in China and will only be located in the imperial city. Others are called consulates. So if the base is not in Beijing, don't worry about the embassy. According to the national strength and the relationship with China, the number of consulates varies greatly. The general consulate will be located in Shanghai, followed by Guangzhou. Once again, Chengdu, Wuhan, Kunming and other major capital cities ... Of course, Beijing also has a consulate general, so this will not be carried out.
