But they say you should be on top watch when everyone is relaxed and relax a bit when everyone is on top watch.

 

indecision

 

Many industries are taking a full blown hit. Manufacturing, import/export, service industries what not. Small businesses went brankrupt. College graduates, a few millions of them, be like, s**t, no job!

 

Meanwhile a lot of good changes though. You realize simple living is not bad... If you sign up for some volunteering work you meet lots of people with big hearts. During the days with my gym closed, I ended up learning free resistence training and got a better toned body. 

 

 

Gotta still enjoy the sun. Time to lend a hand to other countries, too.

I for one will definitely appreciate more, what i have and what i can do for others

In Stunning Show Of Hypocrisy, China Shuts All Borders To Foreigners Over Virus Fears

China has decided to suspend the entry of foreigners with currently valid visas and residence permits in China ...

 

Thu, 03/26/2020 - 11:40

Two months ago, as deaths from China's virus were rapidly escalating and spreading across the nation, Beijing expressed outrage at the measures enacted by the global community to limit the spread of the deadly virus, saying they went way beyond standards accepted worldwide.

Specifically,  Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that Beijing "does not agree with the approach adopted by individual countries to create tension or even panic" by closing borders, trade, and flights to and from China. 

WHO boss Tedros also piled on - saying these flight bans and border closures were racist.

  

And of course, AOC and the extreme left also chimed in on the 'racist' OrangeManBad in The White House and his (now clearly life-saving) Chinese flight bans.

But now, as China claims it has its domestic outbreak under control and that the new cases are ONLY from foreigners, and in a stunning piece of total and utter hypocrisy, they have decided to... Suspend entry of all foreigners' entry to China:

 

Double standards ..., not 'hypocrisy' ...

icnif77:

In a Weibo message from Securities Times Network:

 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Migration Administration:

China has decided to suspend the entry of foreigners with currently valid visas and residence permits in China # from 00:00 on March 28, 2020 .

Suspend foreigners holding APEC Business Travel Card Entry # . Port suspension, 24/72 / 144-hour transit visa exemption, Hainan entry visa exemption, Shanghai cruise visa exemption, 144-hour visa exemption for foreigners from Hong Kong and Macao in Guangdong, and Guangxi visa exemption for ASEAN tourist groups. 

Entry with a diplomatic, official, courtesy, or C visa is not affected. 

Foreigners who come to China to engage in necessary economic, trade, scientific and technological activities, and for urgent humanitarian needs, can apply for visas from Chinese embassies and consulates abroad. Entry of visas issued by foreigners after the announcement is not affected.

Furthermore, China says it has to take these necessary and temporary measures in response to the current coronavirus situation, using practices of various countries as reference.

We look forward to hearing Tedros decry this action by China as xenophobic.

Hubei Residents Riot After Quarantine Lifted; Police Beaten With Their Own Shield, Cop Cars Overturned

Residents of Hubei province in China teamed up with their local police force to battle the police from neighboring Jiangxi province - who set up a roadblock on the Yangtze River Bridge to prevent the people of Hubei from crossing and returning to work.

Footage of Hubei residents overturning Jingxi police vehicles was captured and uploaded to Chinese social media - where Chinese authorities have reportedly already scrubbed it.

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
