My girlfriend is from Guangdong and visa officials hate that place for some reason, probably because so many people emigrate from it. Entire towns are supported entirely by relatives that live abroad.

I spoke to a woman who worked at the British embassy in Beijing, and yeah she did say that unofficially have way stricter requirements for people from certain provinces. For them she especially mentioned Hunan and Fujian since there was a lot of fake documents, and people overstaying their visas, from those provinces. So probably the same for Guangdong and Canada.

It's not really unofficial so much as informal because it's in constant flux. Certain areas, companies/schools, and individuals (expediters usually) are found to be related to huge amounts of fraud, so anyone related to them gets extra attention.

Immigration fraud is a huge business.

XI & P BFF FOREVER

quote:


“President Putin is the leader of a great country who is influential around the world,” Xi said. “He is my best, most intimate friend.” The two have met more than 20 times.

Putin received China’s first-ever friendship medal for his “outstanding contributions” to China’s modernization drive and helping to maintain world peace, AFP reported.

He also reminisced to a Chinese broadcaster early this week about celebrating his birthday with Xi in 2013: “I won’t hide it, we had a shot of vodka and sliced some sausage. We finished the day’s work and he celebrated my birthday with me … I’ve never established such relations or made such arrangements with any other foreign colleague, but I did it with President Xi.”

Another poo poo layer is he only wants to "Negotiate" the tariffs one on one when there is no reason for them to.

the one that set me off tonight was the old guy blasting a tv drama from his phone, so I found him and told his wife to tell him to turn it down, and she looked me dead in the eyes and said "its not him making the noise" and I said "really?" so I got up and went over there and stood next to them and said "its him" and she said "no its not" as his phone blasted his tv drama so I got fed up and told them they were uncultured and the lady shouted at me to do something horrible to my mother and I just walked away from them on the train

also very big lol at this one

Dinosaur fossils have been known for millennia, although their true nature was not recognized. The Chinese, whose modern word for dinosaur is kǒnglóng (恐龍, or "terrible dragon"), considered them to be dragon bones and documented them as such. For example, Hua Yang Guo Zhi, a book written by Chang Qu during the Western Jin Dynasty (265–316), reported the discovery of dragon bones at Wucheng in Sichuan Province.[192] Villagers in central China have long unearthed fossilized "dragon bones" for use in traditional medicines, a practice that continues today.
