@paulwind: glad to hear they didn't hammer you - I think they can if they want to. First year & 1/2 I was here (early 2000s) I didn't register, my theory being that there desire to know what I do & where I am etc. is their problem & not mine, why should I volunteer to help others track me unless they ask? But then a friend pointed out that if my flat was robbed & I hadn't registered & I called the cops they could just say Hey we don't even know this is your flat etc. & I'd be without assistance.
Anyway, as you've found out, registration is pretty simple. When I finally registered there was no hassle & they didn't even mention the fact that I'd been in the flat for quite awhile - obviously, they'd known it, these guys are not blind.

Government sues parents to get kids back to school
发布者There are economic issues concerning education in China for very poor communities, which obviously need a bigger share of the economic pie than they are getting. Yet China's 'socialist market economy' is increasing the overall level of economic resources within China.
