I assume you are asking about Xiangqi aka Chinese Chess and not Go (weiqi).

Well, yes and no. It is similar to chess but follows different rules and strategies. I wouldn't say it's any more complicated than chess, but like chess, you can know how to play and still lose a lot because of poor strategy. The rules are simple but the strategy is key.

There are a lot of websites devoted to the game (even in English). I would recommend learning it as it is a lot of fun (if you enjoy games like Chess) and it's a great way to meet some local friends (bring a set to a bar and you'll end up playing a bunch of games).

Go on the other hand..... Highly highly complicated.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

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
