Wow that&#x27;s crazily bureaucratic.<p>I speculate the different attitudes of the agents vs the government could be one or both of:<p>1. Shenzhen is a special economic zone, with a clean bureaucracy, while the agents may have gained their experience from out of state.<p>2. Government workers are keen to show a good image of their country to their guest-foreigners.<p>As I&#x27;ve said, pure speculation.
