Al, considering your situation, maybe you can apply for a work Z type for the internship. If you are in PRC currently, you can try to convert X type to work Z type at the exit and entry administration of the local PSB. But if it cannot be changed, you can go back to your home country to re-apply for an X type to do the internship.
