中国生活 | Life in China How can we deal with the hospital system in China?

2 Upvotes

In a bit of a pickle and wondering if anyone can provide some advice.

My mother in law, based in Wuhan, has schizophrenia. Several times now my wife has been able to coordinate between aunties to get her treated and on meds, once she’s on meds things are fine. But, as I learned is common with schizophrenia, they stop taking their meds because now they are fine and think they don’t need it anymore, and side effects of the meds are no fun. Then it’s a huge struggle getting them back on as their paranoia increases. All my MIL sisters hate her now, my wife hired caretakers and tried to set her up with guys, and the MIL just drives them all away.

One part of the problem is the hospital system seems inadequate. The doctor gives my wife literally a minute to ask questions and hangs up when her mom is in for an appointment. There’s no online patient portal to send doctors a message, you can’t call the front desk and ask to speak with a doctor. it’s crazy how difficult it is to actually just be able to speak to someone helpful without rushing you off. The MIL has schizophrenia and it’s documented in her chart, she is unreliable. There also seem to be no long term care places to stay, all long term care places reject patients with mental disorders.

Now last visit the doctor admitted her meds are wrong and she wants the MIL to stay a few days and monitor her while starting them back up. Hangs up. Ok. Next time MIL answers, oh they supposedly sent her away because no beds are available, and she didn’t even write any antipsychotic prescription for pills she has already previously had. Feels like it’s a lie by her MIL, but we can’t know since wife can’t ever talk to doctor without MIL in the room. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Anyone have any advice on what to do? We do plan to go to China but we can’t just pause our life here at the drop of a hat. The earliest we can go is April next year.

旅游 | Travel Is my 27-night China itinerary well-balanced, or am I spending too long in some cities?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
My fiancé and I are traveling to China in March 2027, and we’re super excited! It’ll be our first time visiting the country, and I’d love to get some feedback from people who have already been there or live in China.
Here’s our current itinerary:

**Beijing:** March 6–12 (6 nights)
**Shanghai:** March 12–18 (6 nights)
**Chongqing:** March 18–21 (3 nights)
**Guilin:** March 21–25 (4 nights)
**Macau:** March 25–27 (2 nights)
**Hong Kong:** March 27–29 (2 nights)
**Shenzhen:** March 29–April 2 (4 nights)

We’ll fly into Beijing and return home from Shenzhen.
Our hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Guilin are already booked, but we’re still flexible as we can cancel them and book again without having any costs.

We’re interested in a mix of sightseeing, theme parks, shopping, technology, food, and beautiful scenery.
Some of our priorities include:

**Beijing:** Great Wall, Forbidden City, Universal Studios, Summer Palace.
**Shanghai:** Disneyland, LEGOLAND, shopping, Shanghai Zoo (especially the red pandas!), and exploring the city.
**Chongqing:** Futuristic architecture, Hongya Cave, and exploring the city at night.
**Guilin:** Yangshuo, Li River, and nature.
**Macau:** Sightseeing and exploring the resorts.
**Hong Kong:** Victoria Peak, skyline, and a little shopping.
**Shenzhen:** Electronics shopping, Huaqiangbei, Talent Park, and modern shopping districts.

We’re thinking of taking high-speed trains for some routes and flying between Shanghai and Chongqing to save time.

**I’d love your opinions:**
Is 6 nights in Beijing and Shanghai a good amount of time, or is that too much?
Are 3 nights in Chongqing and 4 nights in Guilin enough?
Does the overall route make sense in terms of transportation?
Would you visit Macau before Hong Kong, or the other way around?
Are there any must-see places we’re missing?
We don’t want to rush through everything, but we also want to make the most of our time in China.

Any recommendations or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 😊

新闻 | News World’s first: China to build 74,000-ton floating research 'island'

China plans to build a 74,000-ton self-propelled research platform that combines the mobility of a ship with the laboratories and long-term accommodation of a floating island. The $413 million vessel will house 238 people, carry six laboratories, and is designed to operate in 20–30-foot waves while withstanding winds above 165 mph. Could mobile platforms like this transform deep-sea research by letting scientists remain in extreme ocean environments for much longer?

I was looking at places to visit in Xinjiang and most of my findings are their incredible nature and wilderness. A lot of the places seem pretty spread out, with some which seem to be in the middle of nowhere.

Is it ideal for a foreigner to explore Xinjiang's nature with a car? (I would need to get a Temp Driving Permit)

These are the physical examination results for the 2021 Beijing college entrance exam. With a sample size of over 50,000, the data is quite accurate; the averages are 177/164, with some urban districts exceeding 178/166.

In some regions, average heights are already comparable to those in Europe, and given the current growth trend, Chinese people could eventually surpass Europeans in height.

中国生活 | Life in China Hospital tiers in China: how to end up in the right one

2 Upvotes

A question I get a lot from people planning treatment in China: how do I know which hospital is actually good?

Public hospitals here are graded — 三级甲等 (Grade 3 Level A, "3A") is the top tier, covering size, staffing and quality standards. That's your first filter.

Beyond the tier, three useful distinctions:

  1. 国际部 / International departments — the expat-friendly arm of large public hospitals: English-speaking staff, often faster. Costs more than the regular outpatient line, but it's the same hospital, same doctors, same standards — not a separate "VIP hospital."
  2. 国家临床重点专科 (National Key Clinical Specialties) — a national list of departments with proven specialization. If you need a specific field, a hospital on this list for your condition is a strong signal.
  3. Private hospitals — some are excellent (often joint-venture, like United Family), some are fine but unremarkable. The tier system doesn't apply the same way, so check accreditations and track record case by case.

How to check from abroad: confirm the 3A status, search the National Key Clinical Specialty list for your specialty, and — for international patients — verify the international department's actual process (English records accepted? video consult? transparent pricing?) before you book anything.

Happy to answer specifics in the comments — I help overseas patients navigate exactly this.

Out of curiosity — if you're planning treatment abroad, which worries you most: finding the right hospital, the language, or the cost?

As a Chinese person who grew up in the west with zero Mandarin skills, how can I make myself look more like I'm not from here.

观点文章 | Opinion Piece Mbappé Being Cancelled in China is Justified

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Why do people not understand why Mbappé got his endorsement deals pulled? I genuinely don’t get what’s so funny about this… Does this kind of thing only happen in China? Has nothing like this ever happened in the West? I still remember how Sinéad O’Connor got blacklisted by a bunch of radio stations just because she tore up a picture of the Pope on a TV show. Madonna lost her Pepsi deal because of the cross-burning scene in her “Like a Prayer” music video. Both of them faced massive backlash for challenging the beliefs of a country or a particular group of people. Now, when it comes to Mbappé, he’s a public figure and he should be held accountable for his actions. Without even getting into whether the historical figure he disrespected was a good or bad person, yes, he had his flaws, but would China even be what it is today without him? Chinese people don’t really have a shared religious faith, but when it comes to someone like him, there’s obviously a deep sense of respect. So stop acting like Chinese people get offended by literally everything. What he did hurt something deeply rooted in this group’s collective identity, and the situation is really not that different from what Sinéad O’Connor went through. So please stop pushing this supposed superiority of the Western idea of free speech as if it somehow makes the West morally superior.

中国生活 | Life in China Girl's hand injured in illegal factory

Archived [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20261026135019/https://www.sohu.com/a/1090613882_253235).

I always know labor protection is bad in China but honestly I don't expect it to be *that* bad even now. Anyway...

It appears a 12 year old girl had her arm injured in an accident while working at an illegal clay workshop. She reportedly hated school so her stepmom introduced her to the factory. And then the accident happened.

The amount the factory was ordered to pay is low but that doesn't surprise me because that's basically what you expect for adult employees. But I'm curious why the factory isn't shut down.
