The Beijing municipality has said it will even consider allowing foreign professionals to bring in their own foreign maids, currently illegal in Beijing.
This was actually a big issue for one of my friends. They wanted a Filipino maid for communication reasons and were even able to manage it for a few years (before 2010 or so). But then China cracked down on the practice and they had to go with a chinese one eventually.
Yes I cant see that being a thing for 99% of the potential western candidates unless they are targeting the ME and India
You get a foreign maid, and you get a foreign maid. Everyone gets a foreign maid!
