This is all part of a bigger plan that is just in its beginning stages.
This is all part of a bigger plan that is just in its beginning stages.
The half naked laowais splattered on the floor like turds are the reason why China is tightening the noose and raising the standards for teachers - limit the number of less-skilled laowai = eliminate the riff raff.
Anyone with eyes can see that the police are not helping the laowais but restraining them. I am sure someone here will come up with the idea that they were attacked by nationalistic and xenophobic chinese.
Now this thread has turned from nationalism, socialism, xenophobia, and discrimination into income tax. laws.
shanghaiist.com/2016/09/12/work_permit_ranking.php - Back on topic = work permit!
Foreigners will be given points based on:
1 - Salary in China.
2 - Educational background.
3 - Length of work in China.
4 - Chinese language proficiency (HSK).
5 - Age (25-40)
6 - Where they work (city, county, village)
Very reasonable requirements.
This is for foreigners with a work visa. This has nothing to do with any other types of visas.
shanghaiist.com/2016/09/12/work_permit_ranking.php - limit the number of less-skilled laowai.
In its continuing quest to attract more highly-skilled foreign talent - and limit the number of less-skilled laowai - China is planning to streamline its work visa system, while also neatly categorizing all the expats. China will classify all foreign workers into three distinct categories:
A (top talent) - 85 points or higher? You get an A, congratulations, you're one of the good ones!
B (professional talent) - Only 60 points or higher? That's a B, still have some work to do.
C (unskilled workers or those working the service industry) - Below 60 points? Sorry, you're a C-level talent. You have been judged and found wanting,
Foreigners will be given points based on: 1 - Salary in China, 2 - Educational background, 3 - Length of work in China, 4 - Chinese language proficiency, 5 - Age, 6 - Where they work = Seems like very reasonable requirements.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this policy - Supply + demand = Competition. A white face is no longer enough - Time to get certified + qualified. This has nothing to do with discrimination, nationalism, zenophobia or socialism.
Saved for posterity.

This is a great little Old Town that is on the list of Historical sites.
Midu is 30 minutes from Xiang Yun - Midu is 1.5 hours from Xia Guan - Mi Zhi is 40 minutes from Midu.
The place you want to see is called Wen Sheng Jie in Mi Zhi. This is great for a 1 day trip. Lots to see nearby - I will make a list of all the locations nearby as soon as I get home.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building.

发布者For those begging the moderators to do something, their agenda is also very clear.
20 years in Yunnan with Jim Goodman
发布者The agenda is very clear as it is clear to what is happening in the last few decades all over the world; To normalize the abnormal. For those who still have the courage to call a spade a spade, I applaud you. For the corwards who hide behind political correctness, you have that right, just as those who state the obvious have a right to free speech on this forum. If this was an article on the Rocky Horror Picture Show coming to China, then the attire is appropriate. This person obviously wanted attention, well he got it. Once again the same issue comes to surface. All humans have the right to do as they please as long as they are not harming others. Clearly, this man has the right to dress as he pleases because he is NOT harming anyone. People have the right to keep private what is private just as they have the right to make public those things which are private. It is obvious that this man knew exactly what he was doing when he submitted this picture. The agenda is clear whether you agree or not. He wanted attention and he got it. If he usually dresses like this in public as some people here have already mentioned than it is not the first time and he knows exactly what he is doing and he does this on purpose and with a goal in mind.

20 years in Yunnan with Jim Goodman
发布者Bjtokm - I agree with you and your comments as your are merely pointing out the obvious, the pink elephant in the living room, the emperor with no clothes, or the man dressed in drag. I see no judgement made on your part. You just were the first to make an observation. The name calling began when others started calling you childish and unintelligent. As for the ridiculous comment about you putting your own picture online, I find that comment irrelevant and absurd. I am sure if you posted your picture online you would not put a picture of you in your underwear, or naked or dressed in drag. You never mocked the appearance of this person you just asked a very obvious question.
Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者Well said Geogramatt! I have been living in KMG for 10 years and there is so much to see here. I just got back from Mengzi and the old train stations there are wonderful. Great for those who love history and trains.
