Yes. Working in China without a work permit usually may result in detention, fines, or in rare cases, criminal charges. Staying in China without a valid residence permit will result in fines and detention plus deportation. However, there is currently a leniency period due to the coronavirus outbreak and during this period his penalties will be correspondingly reduced.
