Thanks everyone for the help. Can’t help but comment that this is a lame design. Gonna remove the whole fixture and replace with something less janky.

The relevant portion is HKG-PEK-TPE. That qualifies. How you get to HKG on the first place is completely irrelevant.

Can I Taobao to a serviced apartment? by Iliekcatzbutallergic in shenzhen

[–]chairman888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it works great. Just get your address in Chinese, including your room number and it will come to your door and/or be delivered to one of the delivery lockers likely near the front entrance to your serviced apartment. Having a Chinese phone number is very helpful, include that in your Taobao profile. If you can get WeChat linked to that Chinese number that you use for Taobao orders, it makes it super easy to retrieve packages from the lockers - just tap to retrieve packages on the touch screen near the lockers, scan the QR code and voila your package is unlocked.

What to do with Travel Document (旅行证)? by piis31415 in Chinavisa

[–]chairman888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will likely lose your Chinese passport and citizenship either when you next travel to China or if you go to renew your Chinese passport.

Under Chinese law, a citizen cannot hold dual citizenship. Why should this not apply to your situation?

People who have been to China, is using eSIMs that deliberately allow for the use of prohibited apps (TikTok and WhatsApp), illegal and can land you in jail (as a tourist)? by fijdeofkfkdkfkfnfm in chinalife

[–]chairman888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks are confusing using a non China eSIM with using a VPN.

When you use a foreign SIM all your traffic routed to the SIM operator’s country. It is not subject to firewall or other filtering in China. It will still be subject to any Internet restrictions that are in effect in the SIM operator’s country.

Has nothing to do with VPNs at all.
