Q: Did 'Kung Fu Panda' piss people off here?

I wasn't around when it came out, but seeing as how touchy Chinese are when we say anything about their country...

It was actually a big hit in China. The only thing that pissed them off majorly was the fact that Chinese producers/directors/studios cannot make movies that can reach out to the people.

They loved it more than life itself, and one of them kung fu panda movies ended up being a top grosser. Same goes for Mulan. My students have tons of merchandise with the Panda and Mulan on it. Someone told me that having big American blockbusters about China give the Chinese face, though I'm not sure most of them would take it that far.

It's only Asians born and living in anglo countries who find it to be a terribly offensive misrepresentation of their culture.

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
