Q: How safe are 2nd hand furniture?

A sofa, for examples. Do you have to disinfect it after buying? I wouldn't want it to be full of bugs crawling up in my flat!

Could you expand on why it is not like Europe?

I have not bought any second hand furniture here yet, but I would consider it, and check it before buying it the same way I would in any country.

Why would i pay full price, plus the Westerner fee, to keep a sofa for a few months? It's way easier to buy a used one, especially since 2nd hand market is large enough here!

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
