Q: Is China being too reactionary regarding these new laws?
Seeing all these laws such as looking after your parents, not letting kids under 10 stay at home, stricter visa laws etc, it almost seems as if China's authorities are reacting from their own state-owned media and are being just as hot-headed as the most sensationalist of newspapers. Are they reasonable (in particular the visa laws)? or are they just reactionary?

I don't believe so with all the things that are going on with crime and all I think it's not too over the top if you think about it for a second. 
He he, I said: "second"!
They want to be seen by the west as having social order and rule of law, as the economy is no longer anything to be proud of.

Back to the dark ages then, although, in ways, we can all say that China has never left the dark ages behind.
I think it is progress ... and I think progress is good
Don't forget that President Xi is also a traditional hard-liner so the next few years will be like this.
I am sure the enforcement will be lax at best. However, I would suggest that some people start keeping train/plane tickets so they can prove when they have visited their relatives. I wouldn't be surprised if some old geezer would report his own family just because he is bored or moderately upset.
The pinnacle of the nanny state.
If China's leaders where serious about improving the country they should rather than making new laws, look at the laws that are already in place, get rid of thoese that are crap and start enforcing those that are not, and most important of all, work for equality for all so the poor and the rich get identical treatment in the legal system
I know it seems to be a pain in the a** for the new visa rules but guys, they do need to weed out the bad, yes they also have bad citizens but they are citizens of this country.
after reading the story of that hampson english teacher , i say no. as techese said they should weed out the bad apples. and these visa laws help guys like me, people who are qualified competent but would be discriminated against by schools like hampson english because as they so often request in their ads "white only" or "american/ european looking"
when you hire simply based on age and appearrance then you will end up with trouble. these visa laws will thin out the riffraff (some of them at least).getting a criminal history check is a pain but if it leads to less perverts screwing up the image of foreign english teachers then i'm all in.
