I work in china for 1 and 1/2 years and i used working visa sponsored by my previous company.I renewed my working visa last end of may and they didn't allow me to renewed again. They tell it to me that i must go back in Philippines to get my another visa. So i decided to come back in Philippines,i can get two months visa here in Philippines,but after two months i don't know where can i get again. It really really pain in the ass. My company also suggest that i need to find an agency that they can give a chinese visa although we can pay it. I hope you can help me about this concern.

From Shanghai, we went to Guangzhou then moved to Macau to renew the Visa. It was a wrong move! We should went back to PSB in Shanghai to renew for a second and last time inside China. We went to CTS on june 9, 2008 and we got 7 days visa. But we were "lucky"... some got only 3 days! Now we are in Shanghai and we went directly to PSB to extend the visa and they answered that they can only give us 7 or 10 days because the current visa is 7 days! The only thing I am mad... is that nobody can explain why! Ho well I think we will go back Canada sooner than I though and come back China after the Olympics! :-) This is sad I didn’t read your blog before!!!

China should be reprimanded because it does not welcome people with highly contagious disease? If I have a cold, I would rest at home so I wouldn't spread it at work. In fact schools anywhere recommend students who have contagious diseases to stay at home and come back after the illness is gone. You stated that China "flagrantly discriminatory against people with mental illness." Like I've said, it's called PREVENTION because SARS, tuberculosis, AND AIDS have the tendency to SPREAD and so far curing these diseases is kinda hard. So what is your point?
