Q: How much should the RMB be really worth?

I exchanged some money for the first time in a while the other day and was surprised to say that the yuan has appreciated a bit on the us dollar.

This got me thinking, how much should RMB really be worth if it weren't for the government controls on currency?

"That undervaluation of the renminbi acts as a subsidy for Chinese exports, artificially making them as much as 40 percent cheaper when sold in the U.S. Conversely, it acts as a tax of as much as 40 percent on American-made goods sold in China."

From: http://economyincrisis.org/content/chinas-currency-manipulation-flipping...

(Excluding currency conversion fees)

What it was 2 years ago: 1 USD = 6.5 Yuan.
What it is now: 1 USD = 6.19 Yuan

What it should be: 1 USD = 3.71 Yuan.

So a 100 RMB note should cost you $27 USD if it wasn't for China's currency manipulation.

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
