Best Visa for moving out to China to join spouse and work

Hi, my wife is a Chinese national and has recently been refused a UK visa and had to return home to China. I'm in the process of applying to move out there and join her and was planning to make it a permanent move so would need to be able to work once there. I'm very confused about which type of visa is most suitable? I was advised to get a Q1 type but now I read you can't work on that one? So what that's just for tourism and lazing about?

Essentially I just want as long an entry to the country as possible with the possibility to legally work once there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
