Q: Can anyone provide confirmation on Beijing Metro Line 6 becoming an "Express"?

There is some word of it; even some stations are set up with having an extra platform (two, really) that is currently not in use. 

 

However, I can't find confirmation of this in Engish. As well, I hope they don't change their minds as they do with subway station names...

From the Chinese-language version of the China Daily.  Indeed, yes, parts of it will become express-stops only and it will be the smaller stations that are skipped during morning and evening rush hours.

 

"Almost parallel to Subway Line 1, Beijing Subway Line 6 is a main artery crossing Beijing City from east to west. With a total length of 52 kilometers (32 miles), Line 6 is longer than any other line under operation or construction in Beijing. The construction of Line 6 is divided into three phases and the first phase has been completed. It runs from Haidian Wuluju in the west to Caofang in the east. Other sections from Wuzi University to Dongxiaoying and from Pingguoyuan to Tiancu are still under construction. It is said that all construction will be finished in 2015.

As planned, Line 6 is expected to have express sections. For instance, it will drop small stations in rush hours in order to reach the downtown area directly. The speed will reach as much as 80 to 100 kilometers per hour (40 to 62 miles per hour). This mode of transportation will be in operation after the implementation of phaseⅡ. At present, the line stops at all 20 stations."

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before
A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after arrival to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
