Q: Hasn't this week been glorious Beijingers?

To all those that live in Beijing, I just want us to take the time and reflect on how glorious this last week has been. Pollution levels lows, hardly need my coat outside, just a big scarf. Let's just hope this continues...though I know in my heart it won't.

Part of me wishes it would, I kept telling me when I moved here that it would get very cold and so far I look like a liar or an exaggerater.

The weather indeed has been extraordinary and China Meteo is not forecasting a significant temperature drop until around 12/18 or so.

There has been some big event going on in the capital: what this means for the common man is increased securtiy at checkpoints, and more gridlock as traffic is closed to accommodate the VIPS.

But this also means that factories are closed down to make the air nicer. The same thing happened during the 2008 Olympics: Beijing had glorious blue skies for a couple of weeks, and then it was business as usual.

Think all the added security was for Biden's visit?

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer.
