I speculate the different attitudes of the agents vs the government could be one or both of:
1. Shenzhen is a special economic zone, with a clean bureaucracy, while the agents may have gained their experience from out of state.
2. Government workers are keen to show a good image of their country to their guest-foreigners.
As I've said, pure speculation.
