Re: ACRO police certificate and working in china

As far as I know, the Chinese authorities (PSB) don't look too far back.
I think they probably look back maybe 3 to 4 years.
If they don't find anything too serious, then I guess you would be OK.

Re: China Pre Paid SIM for data

It's OK for short term, but we use a dongle, and buy a China Unicom sim to put in it.
