Q: Anyone ever tried the chinese whisky that looks like Jack Daniels?

Is it safe to drink?  The price seems pretty good, but I have never tried it.  Hoping to get an experienced opinion.

Haven't tried it. It is most likely not worth it. 

 

I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that is done well in China, in terms of alcohol, is beers and rice wine. Sure the beers might not be as inspirational as e.g. Belgium beers, and some rice wine is more like industrial waste than a liquid you would want inside your body. Yet, on a hot day, a cool Tsingtao does the trick, and a 50% rice wine spiced with dates or other commonly used flavors can also be a nice drink. 

For whiskey, I happen to know the count of Chinese manufacturers is ZERO. So what you see in that bottle isn't whiskey. At best it is a vodka like pure alcohol with some coloring and flavors added.

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. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
