Don't like that much. The Party has been suffering from a lack of faith for quite awhile now. Partly explains their overreaction (imho) to Pha loon goong in the 1990s.
Still actively building that big church in Kunming city center I saw the other day. If it's Catholic, they don't recognize the Roman papacy and if you attend you must are expected to realize this and love China.

Prepare an exit strategy - Better safe than sorry. In times of turmoil all things change quickly and people and countries act in self-interest. Get certified to teach in ANY country. Travel to neighboring countries to see if they are both Chinese and laowai friendly. Cambodia has few restrictions on visas (6 mos - 1 yr) for both foreigners and chinese. Most importantly, prepare your chinese wife to work or teach abroad. Many things can be done now in preparation because it is never too late to learn and re-learn.
For those of us who have been married for more than 5 years we ALL need to go to PSB and apply for the Green Card. Regardless of how many hoops we must jump through (time, expense, etc) I think it is in our best interest to get this done - the more the better, the sooner the better.
2008 - 2016 - A lot has changed in the last 8 years since the Olympics opened the floodgates to foreigners.
There are many examples in history where people did NOT see the writing on the wall until after it was too late. What goes around comes around - the US has done this many times.

Because of Cambodias lax visa rules theres hell a lot of crooks there. All the bad foreigners that Thailand bans, end up in Phnom Penh/Cambodia. There are certainly more pleasant places than Cambodia around for anyone looking for a second base. (Sure, both Chinese and Westerners visas can be a problem though).
Anyway, IMO the place called Cambodia, should not be recommended lightly, with exception of recommending it to violent drug dealers etc. Sure, some ppl have nice holiday time there, but theres a lively underworld.
isnt that where gary glitter went?
Why does this escape plan begin with - What visa is the easiest to get?
