Q: Does "speed dating" exist in China?

I was just reading about speed dating (in Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink"), which got me thinking: does this kind of thing exist in China, or is it inherently incompatible with Chinese culture? What about "blind dates"?

They have the wedding market : Mom and Pop make a card with all the stats about you (the important things in life : age, income, diplomas, weight, height) and go to a place with other parents who did the same. Then the parents negotiates with each other to see who matches who.

 

Fast, convenient, and it saves all the troubles of courtship.

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
