Q: Can you send something securely to China?

My friend wants to send some really important paperwork to my address in China. How can they do this securely? We would both feel comfortable if I was able to sign off on this letter.

I believe that if it's only important for the receiver, you're some sort of chance to get it.

And I believe that if someone along the chain in China believes it could be important for them, your chances are reduced.

China has all the usual premium mail companies. DHL, FEDEX etc work just as well here as anywhere else. Land mail can take months.

I echo ScotsAlan above on the best companies to use.

I'd also add, make sure you have the address in Chinese and a phone number for a local contact.

Have the package sent to a work address if possible, or that of a trusted local friend.

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef
A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
