Q: Does Chinese children have asthma?

According to what I know about breathing exhaust gas and other stuff in the air, this is a reason for getting asthma, especially for children. I just haven't met anyone that has talked about it? Or is asthma just called something else like Beijing Cough, or Harmonious Breathing ?

Since 1990,, Chinese children from ages 0 to 14 depending on age bracket, are suffering from asthma at an alarming increasing rate.  Lowest area is Tibet, with around 1.1 %, and worst city is Hong Kong overall, buy in the 7 to 8 year bracket Beijing is worse than HKG.
In general, the East of China is a lot worse than the Western portion, which is understandable with the existing levels of pollution.
And another information I found was than 10 % of these kids do keep on having asthma attacks ALL of their lives, it does not stop at the teenager age.

Scandinavian:

the fact that it doesn't stop could easily be due to lack of proper exercise thanks to the awesomeness of the education system, the couple of friends I have who had asthma all come from homes where their parents where smoking, moving away from home and starting doing exercise cured them all, oh, one guy kept having asthma attacks until he stopped his inhaler medication.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
