Indeed, aside from Beijing, where this is being taken seriously, it is a case of shooting onesself in the foot. I was considering Thailand if things went tits up, so this is good news.

Thanks Foxy, that had been a cause of grey hairs for me lately!Thanks for pinpointing this and sharing it with us all. From what I have been reading of the UK check, the only way to get it practically is to be back in the UK in person, a real financial and physical ballache!!
Cheers and beers
I guess some Chinese employers have been having great difficulties filling their vacancies for expat teachers due to previously-applied CBC checks, and other new visa restrictions to boot. So, at the meeting of the great chiefs in Beijing, the proposed nationwide extra CBC regulation was voted out. I think in the future it'll be retracted where and when necessary in 'backward' places by PSB's who have maybe foolishly introduced it.
Back in the UK, it could be a problem for some expats to get it, the enhanced disclosure police check, that is, coz Blighty worries you've been a bad boy overseas!
At the end of the day, needs must re the Chinese end, and regulations from the Beijing padres will be ignored to meet FT employment needs locally.
We both know about 'hao guanxi'......LOL! Long may it rule!

The new law and State Council regulations don’t specifically require a criminal background check. In fact, while the draft State Council regulations required submission of a “certificate of no criminal conviction” at the visa application stage (art. 8), that was dropped in the final regulations (art. 7). Still, agencies have the power to create rules requiring a criminal background check. For example, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security has announced that employment license applicants will need to submit a “certificate of no criminal conviction” (also known as a police clearance letter) from their country of residence, effective July 1. Beijing joins other cities, such as Suzhou and Nanjing, which already have similar requirements in place.
