Can I apply for z visa in another country ?

Hi, I hope you are well.

I need to get information from you to make sure that my nationality is Pakistani, and I currently live in Abu Dhabi. I also have a residence visa in the UAE. So I want to apply for a work visa (z visa) because the company in China wants to give me a notification letter and invitation letter. So is it possible to apply for a work visa at the chinese embassy in UAE? Or should I go back to my country to apply for the visa?
