Q: Was the restrictions on driving in Beijing necessary?

Since the olympics began the capital of China has restricted some drivers on certain days to not drive. The reasons for this is because they wanted to cut down on the pollution as much as possible. During the Olympics it was reported that they had some success and continued with this rule in Beijing. So how do the drivers deal with the restrictions to drive on the road?

Easy, cars with even ending numbers on license plate are allowed to drive one day, and those with odd ending numbers drive the next day.

The poor are screwed up, but the rich just make sure that they have two cars, one with the license plate ending even, and another with an odd ending license plate.

Same thing happened in Mexico City years ago when they started this. At first it worked, until word spreaded out and you got the second car.

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

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 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
