Remote Working
A curated collection of resources for remote work, focusing on Chinese audiences and China-friendly international content.
What is Remote Working?
Remote Working is a GitHub repository that acts as a curated directory of resources for individuals interested in or currently engaged in remote work, with a specific focus on content relevant to Chinese speakers and the Chinese market. It solves the problem of information fragmentation by collecting articles, job listings, tools, teams, and discussions into one accessible location.
Chinese professionals seeking remote work opportunities, digital nomads based in or from China, and anyone looking for China-specific remote work advice, tools, and community.
It provides a uniquely focused, community-vetted collection of resources that addresses the specific legal, cultural, and practical aspects of remote work for a Chinese audience, which is often not covered by general international remote work guides.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Aggregates resources specifically for Chinese remote workers, including legal, tax, and cultural advice, as evidenced by the Q&A section on topics like weekend work injuries and tax invoicing.
Maintained by contributors and linked to active communities like Telegram and WeChat, ensuring continuous updates and relevance to local needs.
Includes articles, videos, podcasts, and reports, such as the '数字游民指北' podcast and Bilibili channels, offering varied learning formats beyond text.
Lists tools like Notion and Trello with direct links, providing actionable suggestions for collaboration popular among Chinese teams.
Cons
Functions as a manual collection of links without interactive features like job tracking or real-time updates, relying on community contributions that may lag behind changes.
Primarily focuses on China-specific resources, making it less useful for those seeking global remote opportunities or cross-cultural comparisons, as admitted in the README's focus on '国内资源'.
Most content points to third-party sites like WeChat articles and external platforms, so accuracy and availability depend on those sources, with no quality control or guarantee of uptime.
