Especially checks are carried out in restaurants and bars in the Dadonghai Bay of Sanya City, in which work and live most of the Russian-speaking foreigners. All foreign workers of catering and tourism infrastructure were checked for a work permit and the current Chinese visa. After checks were fined a six foreigners and one foreigner was arrested for violating labor and immigration laws of China, most of them are Russian-speaking foreigners. All are correct- the related documents must have the all foreigners, but that's interesting, for example, in Guangzhou, in the neighboring province of Guangdong to Hainan, resides 200, 000 people from African countries (officially registered), and in Sanya resides and works not more than 200 Russian (the optimistic scenario!), that is 1,000 times less, but something inaudible, that in Guangzhou were conducted mass identity checks for foreigners from Africa.
