From what I gather of your purpose of being in China, you are a tourist who wants to make it an extended stay. So you should get tourist visa, and renew or go get a new visa when you need.

You don't qualify for legit business visa (unless you are invited to do some business or technology exchange with a specific entity here), and if any agency or such provides you business visa on fake grounds, and they get caught, you could go down with them.

And note that according to China's immigration laws, being employed on business visa is not allowed, any more than it is allowed on tourist visa.

@Alien: If your point is to start nuclear deprofileration from USA, fine. I don't care where it starts.

My argument would be that nuclear weapons are by far not the only weapons in this world. Nuclear weapons have been used twice during their whole existence. Both times were long ago against imperial Japan.

Never since then has nuclear weapon been leashed with purpose of killing or destroying something. At the same time millions upon millions have died from conventional weapons, or brute force of the hand.

Just look at Kunming's own incident at the train station few years ago. Or the whole 9/11 and all its consequences in Middle-East. Nukes nowhere to be seen, yet such destruction.

How would nuclear deprofileration alone solve anything in Korean peninsula, I have no idea. I wouldn't even consider it much of a beginning to tackle the real issues.

Even if you ignore the half a century that followed Korean War, and only focus on US involvement in Middle-East, and how that may have been seen in Pyongyang as a reason to build nukes - USA's interest in Middle-East is oil. North Korea has no resources that USA would want, and ideologic issues died with USSR.

Even if we go further and let's imagine North Korea had some resources that USA would want - wouldn't it be USA's interest to keep the dictators in place and population under control, like they have done in some other places where they have been seeking resources. Let's say Saudi Arabia for example, or countries in South and Central Americas.

If something has been wrong from day one, it is DPRK's reasoning with USA. In another world, they could be the best allies today and still have the same Kims running the place.

@daodejingster:

On what do you base your argument that "North Korea would look like Iraq, Libya, etc. if they didn't have nukes as deterrent." ?

DPRK did not have nukes until very recently, yet no US nor any other troops crossed the border to conquer them in the half a century that they were without.

That's more than can be said about DPRK digging tunnels under the demilitarized zone or capturing and assassinating people outside their borders.

Was any of that bombing campaign by USA somehow a contributing factor to how the Kim regime controls their population?

Lot of shit went on in 50s and years to come, in Korea and elsewhere, but where are we now, and what can we do about it?
