We are a Malaysian company. Does Chinese law allow us to go directly to China to interview and recruit employees?

As long as the company is in China, it can recruit workers in China and needs to sign a labor contract. Otherwise, other forms of working abroad can only be adopted. Our country’s laws do not prohibit Chinese citizens from working abroad.
