In recent years, under the correct leadership of our country, the rise of our nation has once again attracted the attention of countries around the world. With China's increasingly important status on the international stage, more and more foreigners are coming to China in search of a career. At this time, some chaos may arise in Chinese enterprises when it comes to employing foreigners, such as some companies hiring employees who do not meet the conditions for working in China to obtain cheap labor, or some enterprises recruiting foreigners without meeting the qualifications for employing foreign employees.
近些年来，在我国正确的领导方针下，我国的崛起一次又一次受到世界各国的关注。随着中国在国际上地位日益重要，越来越多的外国人来到中国谋求一份职业。而在这时，对于聘用外国人方面，中国的企业中会出现一些乱象，比如有的公司为获得廉价劳动力，聘用不符合在华工作条件的员工、有的企业不满足聘用外国员工的资质条件而去招聘外国人等。
Companies that find themselves in these situations will be involved in the illegal employment of foreign personnel, which is an illegal act and will be punished by law.
出现这些情况的公司就会涉及到企业非法聘用外籍人员，这是一种违法行为，将会受到法律的惩处。
