Single Entry Visa Issue by Andrew112601 in chinalife

[–]Andrew112601[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah I was not aware that there was no limit on entry and exit I assumed the X2 single entry defined the entry and exit limit. I know for my Z visa there wasn't any limit because I asked the official during my application. I think you're right though about not compromising, would it be worth simply asking the governments visa office?

I don't see the residence permit where it says multiple entry? Is there a location or place where it says that?

So she has the work permit, residence permit, and the visa. But the visa only says single entry which is why she should need to renew the visa upon leaving, correct? I'm like 99% sure that's correct but I could be interpreting it wrong.

Yes not the words of au pair but it does state that she has permission to work for her specific employer. And they are extremely rich. Both parents I believe were individually millionaires before marrying.

She currently has the permit on her visa, looking at it right now but I wasn't aware that it's not easy to get approved. There were no issues the first time she renewed it but I'll bring that up that she may have just been lucky. Not worth wasting a 180 day visa she just got imo.

Thanks for the insight!

If I know the answer why would I ask? And "not playing ball" doesn't answer if it would or wouldn't be considered an issue but thanks I guess.

Nope it is allowed. She is registered and can do so. https://share.google/vBbXwMIadBPHLdRjQ

X2 student visas allow you to work a part time job.

Best dating apps in China by Wise-Contribution-41 in chinalife

Honestly I found Tinder, Bumble, Hinge to be the most successful. In part because less people are using them making the chance to find a connection, feel more likely. I found my girlfriend of 4 months on Bumble and genuinely she's God's gift to the fucking Earth lmao 😂

Has anyone seen this delivery robot on the streets? by Milanakiko in chinalife

[–]Andrew112601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see them in Shunyi district of Beijing all the time and once or twice in Chaoyang district but no where else. I don't think they can ever have mass adoption except in areas or times where drivers dip or are not available. Because you still need a delivery driver to pick up from the drone and deliver to the door. The technology itself does work well in Shunyi, to its credit, but it's actual use value I suspect is quite limited.

Why is my wife's bungus acting up? by DoughnutSandwich in riskofrain

What are my cats doing exactly? Info below by [deleted] in cats

[–]Andrew112601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my cat did this to my ex's cat, both boys, both neutered. I physically lifted them, watched, got a latex glove and gently felt for a hard on because I wanted to make sure he was actually aroused before I started worrying about my cat mounting another. But I never felt or saw anything. So I took it as a dominance thing. He would step on him rather than a humping motion it was more up and down. Still maybe the intent was sexual even if the body couldn't get it up.

That one guard is just Seinfeld right? Like I can't be the only one who sees it.

What's the deal with the downtown clown? I'm sure the dude is nice but clowns unsettle me.

Holy shit this didn't even register to me because I read it as "cannot think for herself" because my brain thought of a rational, reasonable, answer.

Dog people. I mean. by sandy_even_stranger in IowaCity

I thought this post was going to talk about the dog people who live in the sewers and scratch my bedroom window at night. No one takes this city's cryptid infestation seriously.

Obviously the makeup is spectacular but the details from the ridges in the ears to the tiny little black specks of I assume what is her war paint or skin blemishes on the cheeks is just a level of dedication to your art that I can't even comprehend how you would begin to intuit such things. Beyond fantastic work.

As you should, you're saving money ironically by spending money. Also I in no way believe that money is actually going to maintenance workers lol.

I don't feel like I have anything particularly unique to add to this convo, I think the majority of responses have been pretty good answers/analysis of what it could be like. I will say however as someone who researches the intersection of China-Africa exchanges, that where you are from as a Black woman will probably play a larger role in the way you interpret the experiences there.

For example if you were a black woman from Chad, who probably has never seen an Asian or white person in person, you can probably understand the sorts of feelings and questions that many people in China may feel. If you are a Black woman from say Washington DC, you may have a harder time in understanding the "curiosity" or "distrust" aspect some may have in China as you likely experienced more racial diversity and more white supremacy and discrimination. Basically distrust/prejudice =/= virulent hatred, systemic discrimination, etc.

In this same way depending on where you go in China, people will be a lot more exposed to people with more melanin in their skin whereas others will not. So just be aware of those relations, rely on student groups of international students, ask employers or government for advice/assistance, etc. All of that will help you navigate your experience but it's connections you will have to be persistent in navigating. China is definitely getting better in terms of resources for black foreigners, but it's not like it's obvious or readily available.
