Forums > Living in Kunming > Obtaining a Resident Visa (Green Book) When you apply for your 'permanent visa' you will need to get a new criminal free record from your home country. They won't accept a police record more the 6 months old.
I also wonder why they ask for this document considering it's been so long since we lived at 'home'. You would think they would want a clean record from the local police here.
Forums > Living in Kunming > New Passport, No Entry Stamp When you get your new passport in China the PDB will check your old passport to make sure you are "kosher". When you leave China on a virgin passport they only check that the visa/permit is OK.
If you get a new passport while overseas you need to bring both old and new passports with you when you enter China and then within 10 days apply to move your resident permit to the new passport. I have known people that had multi entry visas and they never moved them over to the new passport, but you need to for a residence permit or face a fine.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Yunnan Thinking and Ways Hi marcuschen, thats interesting, can you show some figures to back that up please, I checked en.wikipedia.org/[...]
According to Wikipedia for each 100,000 persons China has almost double the number of death than the US and almost 4 times more than Australia.
So for an American in China (according to Wiki) they would have twice the risk of dying in a traffic accident in China compared to the US.
What is also interesting,, (if we can trust Wikipedia?) is that China has only about 1/8th the number of cars that the US has per person
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_per_capita
So per 100,000 people double the rate die in China compared to the US, but there are way less cars in China per person.
Forums > Living in Kunming > What if China and America... Look at all the anti Japanese marches and shop destruction, open hostility to Japanese citizens over the last few years since Diaoyu was bought by the Japanese government.
This hostility could turn to America and Americans (whities) if America does not do what the Chinese want.
Forums > Living in Kunming > What if China and America... I read that when America was at war with Japan during WWII that all Americans with Japanese ancestry were kept in camps for their own protection. I guess if a country is at war with another that they would keep enemy citizens who didn't leave protected in one way or the other.
Golden Week: Planes, trains and especially automobiles
发布者I also doubt that low count, with the number of accidents I see on the highway I take to work daily I think if they had four death a day in Yunnan it would be a very good day for their statistics.
Green Lake to get wetter, brighter, noisier
发布者If they do start charging 50 rmb then they better start a year card system or be ready for a pensioner protest that will make the Anti-Japanese protests look like a walk in the park
Mekong drug kingpin stands trial in Kunming
发布者Maybe he had forgotten the script he had been told to read? (joking,,sort of)
It's also interesting that Burma and Lao agreed for the guy to be tried in China, but that Thailand did not let the Thais be tried out of Thailand. It seems China has different sway in different SEA nations.
Mekong drug kingpin stands trial in Kunming
发布者Is he being charged with commiting any crimes in China?
Seems strange he wasn't tried in the country he was caught or where he killed those sailors.
