      She probably seems more relaxed since she has a camera on her all day, so it's slightly less productive. I'm assuming that she probably does more when there isn't a camera I dunno, BaoPao is awesome, I've used it before.

The tallest would have the highest line, the top notch.

Many people, especially foreigners and expats brazenly flout this law though. They ride on the roads at their own peril.

      You're never forced to do so. It's a way foreign nationals try to skirt around China's policies to be treated as a "domestic" firm rather than a "foreign" firm. Foreign firms, in any country, will always be subject to extra checkups and fees that a local firm will not. Some countries, such as the US, outright ban foreign firms/workers from operating on its soil if an equivalent US firm/worker is available.
      In China, exceptions are made for free trade zones, but obviously that means you will be facing competition from all the foreign firms trying to start in China. The other exception is if you are providing a service local firms cannot produce. The two most prominent examples are foreign language services and foreign food services.

      @@chesspro22k64 She does not work a typical Chinese job. She is a good person though. I'm glad she made it to Africa. She's on the state-level news there promoting African-Chinese expansion.
