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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No results found.

when we renovated we took our workmen to B&Q to select materials from their excellent range if samples. Then with that list in hand we went to the construction market near Mingbo bridge and got the same materials at either half or one third of the B&Q price.
It's a good place for window shopping.
Kunming planning on adding more taxis soon
发布者I was in Qingdao last week, its a popular tourist destination, with a very hilly layout in some ways similar to Kunming, but not only is Qingdao much easier than Kunming to get a taxi, with much better traffic speed, this northern "mountain city" is also building a subway system,,,but unlike Kunming the local government has requested that the construction does not effect traffic, so all construction is being done off to the side of roads.
According to one taxi driver the impact on the every day life of Qingdao citizens is so minimal that many locals dont even know a subway is being built!,,
It is really very interesting to see how different cities in China are managed.
But it was bloody freezing,,something Kunming has under control!
New Kunming airport's first phase nearing completion
发布者For Europe I would say it will most likely be Amsterdam over London or Paris as there are quite a lot of Dutch companies here,,Plus KLM already has the rights for passenger flights KM to Holland, currently KLM is already flying direct to Chengdu from Holland.
