Hi, basically the Chinese embassy needs proof of capacity that your Filipino friend wont be a burden in China. Try securing an invitation letter from a Chinese company and secure also a guarantor to guaranty his or her return back to the Philippines. They are concerned that your friend might decide to stay and work in China.
嗨,基本上中国大使馆会需要你提供证明,来说明你的菲律宾朋友不会成为中国的负担。 尝试取得中国公司的邀请函,并让担保人担保他或她会按照规定返回菲律宾。 他们会担心你的朋友或许决定留在中国工作。
