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. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
Kunming to invest in public electric car fleet
Posted byMy wife is from Shandong and that is the solar capital of China. They make all sorts of solar stuff including cars. After I visited there we tried to get a solar/elec car and bring it to KMG but when we inquired here they are NOT allowed. Lets see if this chnages the rules here so we can get our own and not have to buy the only one they offer from Hangzhou.
