It will depend on a lot of factor based on the new scoring system, did you try the new scoring scheme on wechat? Go to search on wechat and type it in and you'll find one there than test yourself and look at your score and see if you can improve anywhere to make the score higher, better start improving your chinese and hopefully youre in a needy city.
Just for the record:...

I can confirm this is true. I work for EF in Taiyaun and all the non-native teachers have been given termination letters to this effect. Here is a paragraph from the letter:
'Unfortunately we have been advised by the Foreign Experts Bureau that with effect from 1st January 2018 we will no longer be able to hire new foreign experts or renew the existing work permits of...

Well with a population of 26,000,000 people and probably at least 10,000,000 motorized vehicles spewing toxic gasses into the atmosphere 24/7 kinda says it all. Like Beijing I'm surprised people can breathe there at all.
Barometric pressure today is average, so I don't think that is much of a contributing factor.

Check the application forms for the Taiwan visa.
A lot of times, when you fill in visa forms there's a question about being denied or deported in your past. Don't know if the Taiwan forms have this question but it wouldn't surprise me if they did, it seems like quite a standard question.

Shit bags like this douche are fading away. It is becoming less acceptable to be a rich arrogant and selfish person.
Another recent surprise is that drivers commonly stop to let pedestrians cross. At least whete i am in the south. This is new and spreading like the 100th Monkey. People are taking pride in being well mannered in my neck of the woods too. It's refreshing.

Weakening America helps China. Lowering taxes on the rich and increasing taxes on the poor creates more debt and hurts the economy!

I have had this exact discussion with the missus. Alan, you'll be familiar with the term 'footering'? Maybe it's just an Aberdonian thing. Anyway it's about pissing about and doing nonsense 'busy work'. The MIL is the worst for it. Can't sit still for five minutes, like she has worms.
The missus is getting better but only because I give her 'that face'.
It is all over here though...

I used to swim in a public pool and people there would just swim right into me. They would see me coming down the lane and swim directly at me until we either collided or I moved.
For a while I thought that it was an anti foreigner dick waving thing (actually I still think it is sometimes) and do my best to make it hurt when they blundered into me but then I realized they...

I think the first "not smart" thing you did was to think of everyone as a subordinate. They are in fact your team members. You are also a team member and your role is to supervise, not flex your muscles. It drives you nuts when your boss does this and then you do exactly the same thing. Think about it. Adapt, change, bend the rules and be more efficient.

For clarity, I'm writing this as a former expat currently living in Germany with my Chinese wife and 2 kids.
In my experience, no. They can be industrious, exploitative, or have serious cultural chauvinism. But most of the worst mainland behaviourisms are toned down. They know they're not in their own country.I experienced firsthand that there is an identity crisis in the Chinese...

(Not bumping - just not putting my opinion in the OP)
Two mentally competent consenting (and able to consent) adults - A and B - love each other very much and decide to make it 'permanent' (whatever that means these days!)
If A and B are of different genders, then they have automatic rights to inheritance, insurance, power of attorney, custody of...
