The bullheaded arrogance.

I would say 'don't give a shit/meiguanxi' attitude people take to the things they do (nothing is so important, or easy to do, that you have to give a crap about getting it right on the first try, right?), but that is probably just my pet peeve of the day, since it sort of bit me where the sun don't shine recently.

The people.

 

I can live with restricted internet.

 

I cannot tolerate being pushed back on to the metro train, for example.

Someone's on the down-voting pretty quick.  Clearly the board or a spy are not too happy.

That Horrid   noise they make before they spit !!!  I do not know what to say about it. Just I cannot easily think of Any behavior that is more Disgusting !  It blows my mind how that developed here as Acceptable, Encouraged Behavior !  

I would pay to hear the young Chinese females (10 - 30) express their true feelings regarding this. I mean, this is Their men. Their future/current partners.

sorrel:

sorry to say this habit is not only confined to men..... sadly I've seen women (some not so old either) make this noise and then hock a large gob. Such classy ladies

To say "sorry"

seriously some people dont know how to say sorry. they step on you,push you away but the never say sorry.what a bad habit...

Traveler:

Why should they say sorry when they have pushed or stepped on you deliberately. It is to show you that you are a lower person than them.

 

I just push back, but I am usually bigger than they are, so it has more impact.

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
