I think Foxy's position is: Use the faults of the system to your own advantage (do you agree with my assessment of your position, Foxy?)

Yep, absolutely, in any country - to get what U want! Why not? If the legislators 'mislegislate', and corruption is endemic, wade in and take 'em to the cleaners by abusing their stupid visa rules! They always leave loopholes, especially in the PRC. This is a situation where big money becomes meaningless, if you've the knowhow to take advantage!
I'm a globalized citizen.....LOL!
