About:Apply for China Visa in a Third Country
                            
                            
                            Hello,
I am in China on a tourist visa, after years of having a residence permit. I finished my contract, left the country, then came back.  My prospective employeer says I MUST return to the USA for a Z visa in order to come back and work.  I'm trying to tell them I can do it elsewhere, but they are unconvinced.  Am I right?  
Also, can a tourist visa be switched within China? 
Thanks
