Social networking is about business, you move in to small group, catch a break in the conversation, introduce yourself and give out some business cards and move on, if you find a potential customer, you go into a holding pattern and linger there with the conversation a little longer, then move onto the next target group. It's business, not personal, unless of course you see some beefcake on...

This is not something I know a lot about so I might be talking out of my arse, but I always thought that if a company wants to sell its product in China, knowing that it will be taxed heavily that's their choice and if China is able to get away with charging that tax while their goods may not be taxed as heavily in other countries can you really blame them for getting the best deal they can?...

I had the same thing.
It used to be that as long as you had minimum six months left on your old passport they would just put the new visa in that passport and later, when you travel you just needed to carry both passports.
But the last time I renewed my RP my old passport was due to expire about 6 weeks before the new visa would expire. I didn't think...

I do have 3 CC that work in China at places that deal with tourists, hotels, and some restaurants. very limited opportunities to use them do. Merchants here do not want to accept them because they claim it takes months to receive money from banks. And I also have to message banks back in USA that I will be visiting China in the near future and to please accept my charges with a list of...

I know a few Filipinos that do this so the family can withdraw money in the philippines, but not heard of other countries where Union Pay allows this to happen. They can't get 2 atm cards, so they just open 2 accounts and move money to an account where they "express mail the atm card to a family member" and make cash deposits to the account as they need it.

228 . To get no-criminal record and degree authenticated to change jobs, must do it in home country?Dec 28,2016
What Spider says may not be true! It may depend on your government, etc.
I know this from personal experience when I had my Criminal History stuff done by my friend. But then, I was able to get the criminal history done online and mailed. He then took it to my gov's Dept of Foreign Affairs, who then authenticated it, And then he took it to the Chinese...

Unless the degree is in Chinese language... granted, it still won't be looked upon 'favourably', but at least studying the language in the country should imply competence over and above learning that language outside of the country.

231 . Company fines? Legal??Nov 08,2016
If it's written into your contract then there isn't much you can do. The way companies can legally do it without putting in the contract is to have a set of employee rules mentioned in the contract and state you have to abide by them. They can fine you out of any monthly bonus but they can't fine you out of your base salary.
But philbravery is right (weird!). I'd look for...

For any sign of the end is when we actually start hearing groups or small hand fulls of teachers reporting to us or us witnessing them say: "I was told to leave, I'm a B class talent and I was replaced by a new type of A class talent." ( FYI, We're a long long way from that, I do believe A class and B class talents will be changed or modified a bit after a year or so.)

It all depends on your definition of funny. In my opinion, it's rather scary than funny to observe how immature some people are. One of my Chinese coworkers has been questioning me today for 20 minutes about places in Europe where prostitution is legal, giggling like a teenage girl who hears the word "sex". Needles to say, he had this "I will finally score" look on his face. He is in his late...

Good idea man.
Can I suggest including a few reasons why it's a good idea, sort of like the pictures of diseased lungs on cigarette boxes or the graphic anti drink drive ads on TV. People need to see a reason sometimes.
Maybe google some statistics, or diagrams of what happens to the brain when the head hits the road, and how the head is heavy...

240 . So are non natives leaving china or just teaching illegally?? Or can they still get work visas?Sep 30,2016
I'm not sure about work visas but I know lots of non-natives that easily find work with no problems. I know 3 russian girls working at kindergartens in Shanghai who have no complaints...got the jobs easy pay is decent and on time.
Every year there seems to be this panic like "OMG THIS IS THE YEAR 4 REALZ THIS TIME!!" and every year I see enterprising people looking to work...
