Q: Would not wearing a seatbelt have a big impact in Chinese court?

Was the front passenger in a taxi car crash and I'm trying to sue the company for damages. Problem is as most taxis don't have seatbelts I didn't even think to check if there was one, and therefore wasn't wearing one during the crash. Anyone know if this would dramatically affect court findings as in Europe its purely the driver's responsibility.

Wearing a seatbelt is required by law now which can result in 2 points off your license if caught. I'm not sure about the driver's responsibility for passengers, but I've had taxi drivers require me to buckle my seatbelt before. If your taxi didn't have a functioning seatbelt, then that would probably be material to a suit. However if the taxi did have a functioning seatbelt then I'm not sure if it's your fault or not.

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
