We more Western minded guys are sometimes a bit naive and innocent as to the harsh realities of life in China - especially for the Fairer sex in Chinese society. IMHO, the Chinese gal is way more superior to their male counterparts in terms of intelligence, perseverance, manners, initiative - just about in everything...but the sad fact of the matter is that Chinese gals still remain way under-privileged and totally exploited not only by their males, but more importantly by just how the system works in China. Sad but true.
This being so, too many a Chinese gal who realizes such KNOWS that the easiest/best way to get ahead is to just bed a colleague or better still, a boss. This happens every day in Chinese society and is quite well accepted by both males and females. But in the case of us NON-locals, we really don't know how to play the game properly/judiciously.
Whilst a Chinese boss will just go ahead and promote/give a raise to gals he'd bedded, (or, as hard-nosed as some Chinese are - Fire her ass instead, if she gives ANY problems) us non-locals are saddled with Home office rules, our own bosses - and worse, our own more strict code of conduct/morality which will proscribe us from doing what a Local Chinese would do.
I've had MANY friends who fell foul of such complications resulting from work romances; from a guy who actually got fired when such was discovered, to those who was practically paying black-mail rates of compensation to his gal, to being harassed non-stop and paying through his nose, to one who totally screwed up his marriage/family and even to being actually physically beaten up. Office romances are a bad idea anywhere - but doubly...no, more than doubly - bad in China.
You're away from home - don't take chances and just PAY to get your jollies off. Just a Li'l heads up

Bro,
Thanks for the advise.
I am a Singaporean. Gogo to another part of China for a project. The female colleague is single. We are both from different department.
In terms of position, she is on the higher side.
Is just a one night stand affair
You have many friends who got pinch. I am the fewer guys that are lucky
In fact I find the Chinese girls more open minded compare to Singapore girls
regards
