Agreed. There are a LOT of inaccuracies in this article and I think it is very dangerous to be putting information that is this misleading out to the general public. I had a nightmarish experience in September/October this year getting away from a hellish employer (Worlda, run by a woman named Mary Yu - BEWARE!) and it is definitely not as simple as the author of this article made it out to be. First of all, it is NOT possible to get a Z Visa back after getting a temporary 1-month L Visa. This simply is not true. This is what I had to do, after my previous employer cancelled my Z Visa after lying to me about the details, as such, without my permission. I asked an actual employee working at the Visa issuing office (is it called the PSB? The one in Haizhu square...) and she confirmed with me that it is definitely NOT possible to reclaim my old Z Visa, even though I had another employer who was willing to sponsor me, unless I was to fly back to my country of origin to re-apply for it and go through the whole process again. Seeing as I couldn't afford a plane ticket back home because the devil herself refused to pay me my wages, this was not an option for me, and I am now operating on an F Visa.
