Comments on: Is it still worth learning Chinese with the current visa policy? http://yolearnchinese.com/archives/is-it-still-worth-learning-chinese-with-the-current-visa-policy Motivation and Strategies to learn Chinese for busy people Wed, 09 May 2012 17:20:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Hendrik http://yolearnchinese.com/archives/is-it-still-worth-learning-chinese-with-the-current-visa-policy/comment-page-1#comment-4342 Hendrik Wed, 07 May 2008 14:46:49 +0000 http://yolearnchinese.com/archives/is-it-still-worth-learning-chinese-with-the-current-visa-policy#comment-4342 The student visa were only slightly hit, as far as I know. I heard the paperwork increased a little, and in case You want to extend an existing visa You might get problems. As I said, the end of the Olympics CAN bring back the old status, but no one knows. Don't ask me what happens after the Olympics, I don't know if China will come back to a more appropriate visa policy or not. Hopefully everything will be as easy as it was last year.

It should be out of interest or fascination. Seen a lot of foreigners working in China who did fine without great language skills. I can understand four out of your five reasons for wanting to stay in China. But what makes WORK different from work elsewhere? The remoteness of the HQ?

I learn Chinese, because I want to stay in China. If I wanted to go to the US I would improve my English. Jesus, thanx for Your insight. Robert,

For China to continue down this path after the Olympics would be economic suicide. I still think learning Chinese is important and helpful for someone's career. China is not the only country where Chinese is spoken and having a good knowledge of the language could come in useful in places like the U.S. and Europe where there are many Chinese people.
