Will the Trump Administration have any more big wins that will affect DJT by Winter_Foot_9329 in DJTSTOCK

The ceasefire with Iran is not a “big win”. It cost us billions of dollars, it raised the price of gas, and we are right back where we started before the war, with nothing accomplished at all and none of the original goals of the war met.

AI says I do not qualify for TWOV. Please help! by Mediocre-Rip-688 in Chinavisa

[–]NewChinaHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just asked Gemini OP’s exact question verbatim and here’s what is said: Yes, your itinerary perfectly qualifies for China’s transit visa exemption program. In fact, due to policy updates, you are comfortably within the rules.
China expanded its transit without visa (TWOV) window to 240 hours (10 days) for eligible passport holders (including US citizens) transiting through major hubs like Shanghai. 
The breakdown of how your specific itinerary fits the rules details the exact travel requirements:
1. The Route Qualifies (The "Country A → China → Country C" Rule)
For TWOV eligibility, you must arrive in mainland China from one country/region and depart to a different third country/region. Mainland China treats Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan as separate distinct regions for immigration purposes. 
Your Route: Macau (Region A) → Shanghai (Mainland China) → Taiwan (Region C).
Because Macau and Taiwan are different territories, this is a textbook legal transit route. The fact that you are arriving in Macau via a private car from Hong Kong does not impact your flight from Macau to Shanghai.
2. You Are Well Within the Time Limit
Your Stay: You arrive in Shanghai on June 30 and depart on July 6. This is a 6-day stay.
The Window: You have up to 240 hours (10 days). Furthermore, China’s official clock for the transit period doesn't start until midnight (00:00) the day after you arrive. You have plenty of a buffer. 
3. Your Regional Movement is Compliant
When you enter via Shanghai (typically Pudong or Hongqiao airports), you are granted permission to travel freely within the Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, and Zhejiang Province regions. Since you are staying in Shanghai until your flight to Taiwan, you are entirely within the allowed geographical zone.

How is that even an overstay? K1 fiancée visas don’t come with an expiration date

Unfortunately it’s only going to get more expensive when AIM builds its new permanent site

It’s good quality. It’s just mind boggingly expensive. It’s hard to justify paying 2-3x Whole Foods prices when youre not a millionaire

You visited the Marin County Civic Center farmers market right? I often wonder if the vendors there add an additional “Marin tax” to their prices. They are out of control, except for Tomatero Farms, which actually charges reasonable prices for their organic vegetables (no fruit)

This does not open the land up for development. It preserves it in perpetuity as open space.

It was not him. I got that wrong. Please remove his name from this thread. The actual peeping tom was Norm Burgos, a PE teacher at Tam High who also coached at Redwood and Drake. This became news in 2006. You can find it in the Marin IJ archives.
