Q: Will Tin Can (an app) be useful in China?

Tin Can is an app that allows communication between two smart phones without using the internet. That is direct phone to phone communication, which also means you need to be in range for it to work. Could work well for dating (finding people in a crowded club with the same intentions) or for a coup d'etat (finding people i a crowded club with the same intentions)

Wechat already has that feature: looking around to see people near you.

It is not easy to convince people to install a new app, and more difficult to keep the app actively used.

Scandinavian:

but WeChat connects via the internet, thus anything you say/write can be intercepted/censored. Tin Can does direct phone to phone wifi connection.

I know wechat censors and blocks the sensitive politics words. Not sure if explicitly sex words would be blocked. It can't censor voice messages and photos. But if they're in a night club and looking around, I guess they want to meet in person very quickly and have a good time? haha. Oh wifi is a pain in China. it sucks so many places don't provide good wifi connections.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
