Q: Does China know that "The Social Network" is all about Facebook?

I'm not sure if this is a belated release (2 years, ahem) of the above film, but I saw a trailer for it on the subway in Beijing the other day. It seemed to be advertising the film and I was intrigued it to see it promoted on a major media platform seen by millions everyday. All of my Chinese friends know what Facebook is and agree how stupid it is that it's blocked here, but surely the authorities are shooting themselves in the foot/breaking the boundaries of hypocrisy by showing this film on a TV screen on the subway?

Can someone tell me if the movie is being released here? (I've seen it, I'm just curious.)

From what I've observed, symbolism and implications tend to fly over peoples heads in China...

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the 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 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 entry 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
