Really and truly not scared of natural disasters in China or anywhere else, for that matter. Only man-made disasters... (War tops the list...)

Nope. We're not in an earthquake zone, and the occasional typhoon is just a matter of taking proper precautions (stock up on vodka and stay home)

Pollution and traffic are the main killers in China. Mother nature really needs to get her ducks in a row to beat the Chinese.

  Ok, not 'everything' can be solved with vodka. Unless it's with cranberry juice of course, in which case, yes.....everything can be solved with vodka.

nope.  I have felt two EQ's, a few typhoons,  rather get it from that than the 'man-made' way. I figured a long time ago I'd go down in a jetliner crash.   well, time will tell....

You should be.  Earthquake resistant buildings can be built as long as everyone does their job properly, and doesn't take a bribe to look the other way while concrete is replaced with tofu.  But I'm sure that'd never happen here...

no, you can die from much more common, everyday events in China... like waking up and going outside...

I lived through tornadoes, hurricanes, sandstorms, floods, earthquakes and ice storms throughout my worldly travels. Still alive. I think its a matter of perspective, being in the right place at the right time. 

 

It is scary, but it is also a fact of life. You cant live your life in fear though. I worry, yes everyday. I'm a father of a 3 and a half  year old boy so I am supposed to worry for his sake. But I don't let the fear rule my life and neither should any of you.

Scared would be too strong, but I was definitely aware since I used to live in an earthquake zone, and if you asked the locals their response would be, 'oh don't worry we haven't had an earthquake in decades'. In my books that means they are due one soon.

I'm more scared of the 19 nuclear plants + the 32 under construction (and ready soon), moreover considering that most part of the capacity under construction is the largely indigenous CPR-1000 design

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
