I have a one-year F visa issued in April that allows me to stay in mainland China for 60 days, after which I must leave the country and come back. Recently I was told that making a trip to China no longer (since July 1) counts as 'leaving China". I checked with the visa office in Kunming and they said that, yes, a trip to Hong Kong is still sufficient to get me another 60 days. Since there's been some confusion about all this, I am now worried that I'll go to Hong Kong and then find that I cannot come back to Kunming without going to a foreign country first.
Does anybody know what the truth is?

Geezer, basketball players pander to a crowd that watches them because they are good sportsmen. Short people at Dwarf Kingdom pander to a crowd that watches them simply because they are short.

Misfit, I can sympathize with short people who go to work at Dwarf Kingdom because they can't get other jobs - they are making the best of a bad situation, and have immediate needs. However, over the long run, places like Dwarf Kingdom do nothing to improve the situation that gives them few better choices in life.

Basketball players play a game that people like to watch. Being tall is an advantage in this game.

People performing at ethnic/dwarf tourist sites present their identities according to instructions from those who control them economically in a manner that panders to popular, often demeaning misconceptions of who they are as human beings.

China_Stew, I'm not sure what difference between Dwarf Empire & Minorities Village you are talking about, but I think they're pretty much the same.

There was a serious incident, which could have become more serious. It's been discussed. There are ongoing problems which are pretty much understood. People are encouraged not to act like a-holes.

Now I think it would be nice if the whinging would stop, and whoever doesn't want to stay here can leave.
