Foreign Hands Dipped into Chinese Immigration Uncovered

The State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC) lately cracked a case of a foreign company for going in for illegal immigration and overseas study in China.

Since March this year, SAIC began to probe into illegal activities by Canada Jinfu Consultation Company. Since August 1997, the Canadian company set up a total of 12 agencies in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Nanjing, Qingdao, Fuzhou, Harbin and Dalian respectively. With these were also unlicensed agencies it illegally established respectively in Guangzhou and Nantong. The aforesaid agencies, to varying degrees, were all engaged in illegal immigration and overseas study activities in China. The had rendered help to a total of 446 people in Chinese, including 210 having been sent abroad and the other 236 are still in the process for going abroad. According to demands by SAIC, related departments has unfolded investigation of the case. So far, illegal activities by the 12 agencies have been suspended, and 2 unlicensed agencies were closed down, 8 computers and US $ 500,000 were confiscated.

Law enforcers told that such illegal activities conducted by foreign companies are common in China, government departments should pay more attention to such illegal activities. In the meanwhile, the current regulation, which was launched in 1980 by the State Council for registration management for resident representative offices of foreign companies, has been outdated, it fails to meet current demands for standardizing activities conducted by those representative offices.
