Every country has its own little set of rules. One thing you have to lose is the we would never do that in the US or we do it in the US thins way. I work in HKG and all initial training for FOs is done with the training capt in the left seat. While upgrade is slightly different. for the first 90% of the sectors the training capt is in the right seat. A line check is passed and then the capt moves to the jumpseat and the right seat is filled by a regular line FO for the remaining 10%. I have heard in Mainland China they will actually put an FO in the left seat that is close to an upgrade with a regular FO in the right seat and a checker in the jumpseat.
Good Luck,
FO
