Odd. The company that I work for gets most of their Z visas done in Beijing for the foreign staff and none of them need to leave.

If you're a foreign expert in the field of edu, you should abide by different rules. But there are ways round them. Actually, FT's are badly treated by the Chinese govt compared to you corporate guys. Even so, there are some who break the rules. They teach with student visas or F visas that are issued illegally or with long-term L visas due to having a Chinese wife. No problems, They are often aided and abetted by the Chinese, especially Chinese companies who've got the situ on the ground covered.
Seems you don't know the score here. Best to look and learn!
