[quote=GUEST15051,498560]I am a teacher in China and have lived here for the past 12 years. I am married and am settled. In my time in China, I have taught students from all ages, from small children, to kids, to teens, college students and adults. Never had any real problems besides the normal stuff.

I do have a criminal record that I am not proud of. I stole a steak from a supermarket, and have a reckless driving violation. The shoplifting offense is from 1996. 17 years ago. Like I said, I have been here for 12 years and have never had any problem with authority here, nor do I put my freedom here in jeopardy.

There has been a spate of pedophiles who have been caught in China working in two private schools. Because of this, from what I have read, that China is going to at least require people here on a Z visa, whether new or renew, to get a Crimnal Background Check from their nation of origin. This scares the hell out of me.  I came here to get a "new start" and I for the most part have been very happy here. Because I was drunk and stole a steak, my life here is hanging by threads, because of some goddamned pedos.

I have read from someone in Shenzhen that this was required as of July 1, with a poster from the expat site in Beijing stating that visa renewals is suspended until July 1 when the CBC check will be put into action nationwide.

Somewhat of a silver lining in that I can more than likely stay on a tourist L visa and just live with my wife. Se is very successful and I do not really need to work, amd could live on a stipend with her. But if this CBC check is for real, I am stuck between a proverbial rock and a hard place. I am also scared to death and very resentful that this garbage from almost two decades ago might ruin me now.
