I did not suggest that FTs refuse to undergo homeland medicals. I said 'if they took them, they should refuse to undergo second medicals in China if their homeland medicals were recently done. Your reading skills need improving!

You might not have said they should refuse to undergo medicals in their own countries, but I hope I have made it abundantly clear that they should so refuse. They should refuse because when they arrive in China the Chinese who asked then to arrive with a medical may well insist they undergo a Chinese medical, whatever they have promised before. It is doubtful if they will reimburse you the hundreds of pounds it costs you to have a medical done at home. Avoid trouble if you can, please. If the Chinese schools insist you arrive with a medical go and tell them to eat coke and find another school. What I mean really is say, "thank you no, the arrangement doesn't suit me."
