12 years 9 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
Nope, if for some reason you do not wish to do so, you do not have to.
For your information only, I did register with mine about 2 years ago, and all they have done is send me an email warning me about health concerns in drinking bottle water from Chinese sources due to some contaminated brands. Other than that one time, nothing else has happened. Oh, sorry, I also got another one warning me about traveling in some parts of China due to civil unrest in those areas.
To me, in a way, was a peace of mind that they knew I was here for whatever happened. Nothing else. I honestly do not think that will all budget cuts they will bother me much too.
