Q: Everyone in GZ is using Taxis again?

I was out and about this weekend and the Chinese in our group said DD is no good now. They said official taxis are cheaper. I must have missed that news on the english websites. Anyone got a link why?

There was a stink about a couple of ladies raped by drivers, one case the son of the didi driver did the deed and some outcry about not checking backgrounds very well, but I am not sure if that was guangzhou. Didi had to suspend service for a government review for 30 days but maybe longer in whatever city it happened.

ScotsAlan:

Yeah. I rrmember the rape thing. Thats not it tho. It seems that since the late night suspension of dd that most Chinese I know have stopped using it. Say taxis are cheaper. I have no idea why.

Because didi isn't cheaper than a taxi anymore.

ScotsAlan:

Yup. I just wondered if there was a story behind it. Orders from Guv to increase prices for example. Strange the prices went up and none of the foreigner websites mentioned it.

I was still using the DiDi app before I left China —- to book taxis! The private cars are generally more expensive

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
