However, it looks like the only difference in status is that you don't need to be a resident in China. It may be that you still need to take the theory test for Chinese driving regulations, the info provided in the links suggests this is the case.
If I am correct, then you can get a temporary driving licence if you have some purpose to drive, part of a tour perhaps. I assume then you would be in a hired or borrowed vehicle.
For most of us, who have a temporary certificate of residence from the local police, the temporary drivers licence offers no advantages over the permanent one.
Although one of the posts in China moto, suggested it was to buy a motorcycle in another province. This is a way of buying larger engined motorcycles, I have seen 1000cc sports bikes in China (not legal in Shanghai but I have seen them with other province plates).
Diana's has a buffet, has nice decor, and is not expensive.
They are on Dongfeng Xi Lu near the centre.
Downside, not much for meat eaters.
Mostly Chinese dishes.
But from what I understand (if this is a Chinese wedding) they will expect a sit down with all the trimmings, Bai Jiu, and cigarettes on every table; but the Hong Bao will cover the costs. Even if it is a working class wedding, no expense is spared. Especially if this is the brides first wedding.
I don't know what the expectation is for a second wedding.
At one wedding I went to in Guizhou, they collected 450RMB per head from guests as they entered the hall.
I would suggest you use a shipping agent/import company. They charge fees, but will not see you wrong, as they do all the paperwork.
I think the larger ports also have bilingual websites with some information on customs duties. Shanghai, Shenzen, Dalian, Beijing.
Local consultancies are 10 a penny, and most are not worth 2 cents. Many will just take your money and give poor advice. Possibly based on an Ebay purchase they once made, that was delivered by UPS. I jest not. I would suggest caution if approached in response to your classified add. But would accept referrals from other expat companies that import.
It might help to know what you are thinking of importing, in what quantities, from where, by what mode of transport, and through what port?
The economics of junking bikes is a short to medium term gamble..If you are early to the market and can kill competition (like Bluegogo died), you can dominate a market. If you can create a near monopoly and increase the total revenue to more than make up for the initial loss of assets.
The gamble works best when only one player adopts this strategy. Flies in the ointment include:
1. Regulations and fines for dumping.
2. Late entrants taking advantage of your attempts to clear the field, at no cost to themselves. This also negates the advantage you gained at a cost.
3. Late entrants in a strong financial position, when your cash has been depleted.
4. You run out of cash yourself (as happened to Bluegogo).
5. Public perceptions. If your bikes are seen a a pile of junk, they will get treated as such. Personally, I would be much more likely to carelessly discard an Ofo than I would a Mobike. For some users the perception of how cool a bike is, many lead some people away from services that are seen as less cool.

"...If they are able to exchange privacy for convenience or efficiency, they are willing to do so in many cases..."
In my world I did this a long time ago. I realized that I was doing this to some degree when I signed up for my first email account and online shopping. Over the years I have seen my privacy eroded as convenience and efficiency increased. Admittedly I was a little surprised by how far this has gone, and how the data has been used (post Cambridge Analytica revelations), but I knew that I had crossed the Rubicon a long time ago.
Since moving here, I also accept, grudgingly, that I am being surveilled, but to go off grid would inconvenient and inefficient.
As distasteful as the situation given by Robin Li is, I think that he is not that far wrong, in his assessment; note that he does not say it is right, just a fact. As for the the online reaction? nobody likes to be reminded of bad news.
There probably simple work around, BUT the numbers of people who have been disciplined so far (well over 100 000) and the range of sanctions being handed out means it is not worth the risk.
Some of the stories of government officials having to go out into the villages to sweep the streets suggest that a very tight rein is being used in certain quarters.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
