Becoming a lawful society + "CHINA DAILY" news

please read following report from FORBES. There is some truth. All you guys "showing the long nose" to all regulations (like tax or correct company registration) in recent years. You simply have to obey the law - also in CHINA. And honestly speaking, compared with many countries in the world (esp Europe) it is quite easy to register and start doing legal business. If you register correct, all the authorities you have to deal with will be rather helpful and trying to do their best to help and assist you.
This is at least my experience with 2 times registering a Rep Office in Shanghai the last 10 years for 2 different companies.It is really not that difficult.
BUT (!): This is for the people who permanently stay in China (or better for the monent lets say have stayed) and need / want to do the business directly there (for whatever reasons). But there is the other fraction of us people who have legally registered HK company and working with China suppliers and simply need to go there. We are suffering most from this "new china visa regulations".
This regulation does not meet our requirements and it definitely is hurting Hong Kong companies + our mainland partners !
I would really like to meet Mr Wen and explain in details about the different kind of "visa seekers" to him and about the importance to come back to normal as soon as possible.
By the way: My 3 year old son just last week received the full set of CHINA travel documents - including HOME RETURN CARD ! His father is getting 1x entry L (tourist !!!) visa restricted to Shenzhen - with passports showing more than 300 entries the last 10 years.

Enjoy this: Another explanation using partly the Olympics - it is still far away from reality - just some politicians talking:
