The argument is similar in spirit to the Unabomber's manifesto, though argued in a more abstract realm. Skrbina guesses that his pen pal would not be interested in that work. He's such a practical thinker that things like this he probably considers a waste of time.
Every U.S. Citizen/landed immigrant wishing to travel to China must submit a China visa application. No traveler, including business and pleasure travelers as well as students, will be admitted to the country without a China visa. How far in advance should I apply for a China visa? You cannot apply any further in advance of your trip than three months. It is highly recommended that you apply no later than three months in advance of your intended departure date. The more time you can allow for processing of your application, the better.
The most common tourist VISA is the Single Entry Tourist VISA (that is, you canât leave China and then enter again with the same VISA) which has a validity of between 30 days. The Double Entry Tourist VISA (2 entries, 30 days each), is also common. and S VISA are both issued to people that intend to visit their related or friends in China for a period longer than 30 days (for less than 30 days you can simply apply for an L VISA).
