Q: Now that English learning is de-emphasized in China, do you think it will improve？

Everyone only ever studied it because it was mandatory or that they wanted to improve their careers; now that these two restrictions will be relaxed, it may appear that the only people left to study English will be those that actually want to learn it.

Or will Starbucks remain English Corner Central?

Fair question mate. It certainly won't get any worse. I mean, after 30 odd years of compulsory English learning how many ppl can actually speak it??

Rhetorical question...the answer is none. Or to be more exact, 0.000001%

Had a Starbucks coffee in my former hometown of Qingdao a cpl of years ago and was surprised at the quality of it. I'd read over the years that Starbucks had won the 'Worst Coffee in the World Award' 4 years in a row.

What they served me was far from being the worst I'd ever had. Probably only 8th worst.

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

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

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
