A business visa 'F' is for doing business, that is you have come to China to do business. Strictly speaking the maximum stay on any one visit is 60 day. Usually an 'F' visa is only issued for 6 months in the first instance (although there are exceptions). On an 'F' visa you should be paid outside of China, and be seconded here on business.
On and 'F' visa there is no legal mechanism for you to pay tax, as employment is illegal.
If you are working on an 'F' visa and you are having tax and insurance deducted, the money is going into your employer's pocket, or someone elses.
To be clear, you cannot be legally employed by a Chinese company on a business 'F' visa. This is one of the loopholes closed in the changes to the law a few years back (2009 I think).
In the UK we can save face without telling a big lie.
The difficulty with the face save lies is that problems don't get dealt with. For most non-Asians this type of lying makes us angry, and actually causes more problems. If the lie also means that someone will not take responsibility for thier actions, we get very angry.
The outcomes of lying in my culture (British). In simple terms you no longer trust that person.
If friends lie, I no longer want them as friends.
If people in business lie to me, I no longer want to work with them. This is why many of us dislike working with a Chinese boss.
If a shopkeeper lies to me. I walk out the door and tell others the guy cannot be trusted. If a shop keeper lies to me and I find out after I have bought something, I tell everyone.
In the end many of us have learned to trust no one. Except those closest to us. And we don't let many Chinese people get close to us.
I have not had a weepy end for some time now. All I seem to get are friends requests from people I have not heard of, and recommendations for a job I did 5 years ago, from people I have not seen for 5 years. I suppose they are expecting me to recommend them in reciprocation. Some of them, no way!
Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
