Q: Everyone in GZ is using Taxis again?

I was out and about this weekend and the Chinese in our group said DD is no good now. They said official taxis are cheaper. I must have missed that news on the english websites. Anyone got a link why?

There was a stink about a couple of ladies raped by drivers, one case the son of the didi driver did the deed and some outcry about not checking backgrounds very well, but I am not sure if that was guangzhou. Didi had to suspend service for a government review for 30 days but maybe longer in whatever city it happened.

ScotsAlan:

Yeah. I rrmember the rape thing. Thats not it tho. It seems that since the late night suspension of dd that most Chinese I know have stopped using it. Say taxis are cheaper. I have no idea why.

Because didi isn't cheaper than a taxi anymore.

ScotsAlan:

Yup. I just wondered if there was a story behind it. Orders from Guv to increase prices for example. Strange the prices went up and none of the foreigner websites mentioned it.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have be

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
