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.

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.

What a catastrophe! Recently visited Nanning, Guangxi which also has a bike program. All the bikes are uniform in color (Orange) and there is 1 type of payment method. They are neatly placed in bike racks all over the city. They come in clusters of 20 and they are found at every subway station in groups of 20, 40, and 60 depending on location. There are cameras mounted on either side of the bike racks for safety and supervision. People can easily find the bike racks and use the bikes and return them to conveniently located bike racks in other parts of the city.

Kunming has 3 types of bikes and 3 types of payment. There are very few bike racks so there are no central locations to get a bike if you need them. I live at the edge of the city in a village and there are bikes scattered everywhere. The people here use them, drive them home and park the bike it in front of their door where no one else can use them. They now have their own private bikes that they can use and abuse and when it gets destroyed they just go get another one. The bike sits idle all day until that person (Temporary owner) is ready to use it again. Kunming should learn from the many other cities that use bikes and create a system that serves all. I am sure the companies who operate these bikes will lose a lot of money from this program.

I enjoy reading the articles on this site but what really drives me nuts is when the article does not clearly state where this place is located - a basic essential in writing - missing.

Village name is great - how about a county and a prefecture along with that.

Very annoying and NOT the first time.

1 - Once the image was published on Chinese social media the firestorm began, and continues unabated nearly two weeks later.

2 - although some more vocal microbloggers have called for a police investigation and arrests.

I can teach reading and comprehension for a small fee.

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.
