Q: Not many western news apps work now?

BBC was blocked a few months ago, both website and app.

Today it seems the Fox news app is gone too, though the website still works.

The Guardian still works on apple (surprised about that).

I am down to the Daily fail, CNN and NBC apps on my Chindroid phone.

Reuters is gone.

LA times works on apple. As does times of India. But apps are not available on the Oppo store.

Any decent news apps you use that are not banned?

Fox app works on my iPad II. The app that leads to streaming videos / radio. I'd say it manages to open/play around 80% of the time.

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
