China started to implement VAT in 1984 on 24 specified taxable items. In 1994, corresponding...

For me the easiest and simplest way is to take the high-speed train from the GZ East station.  It is accessible from the GZ metro and the train leaves every 20 minutes or so.  The train goes directly to the Lowu crossing to HK.  After crossing the border, hop on the KCR which connects to the MTR and everywhere else in HK.

Another option is to take the bus...

The "workers" they are inviting from North Korea are mostly single young women, and mostly working in the hospitality industry, particularly as entertainers. It seems to be as much about balancing the gender inequality as anything else.

China tried a similar thing a few years ago, bringing women from Myanmar as wives for the surplus of single Chinese men. However, most...

If she is trying on clothes, or doing something where it isn't possible for her to hold her purse, then yes.  But if she wants me to hold it just because she doesn't want to, then no.  I tell her that if she doesn't want to carry it, then she should have left it at home or in the car.

The spouse visa, or K3, is for couples who are already married but have been living in a foreign country or separately since their wedding day.a K1 visa is faster for immigrating couples than a K3 visa because it requires only one application - rather than two with the K3. The process takes only about six months,...

If possible get advice from a doctor back home. The last time I had an inner ear infection was before moving to China, the drugs prescribed was getable at the pharmacy and I know there is a copy of that available here. As I am not a doctor I will deliberately not tell the name of the drug. (antibiotics obviously) 

Depending on the drug I would advise checking with a doctor back...

It would be a lot easier for you to come to China and visit her than for her to visit you in USA.  Basically, for a non-married Chinese national to enter USA for a 6 months period, the only visa that applies (short of her pursuing some sort of studies there under a student visa) will be a tourist visa, but those are normally granted for shorter periods of time, and she will have to prove...
