If you fail the medical in China for Hep or some such thing is it okay togo to Taiwan and get a job where a medical isn't required?

Why would you think a medical isn't required in Taiwan?

...unless you're planning on working illegally...

Actually it was sort of a P.P. ( panic post) I was notified that I had to go back tothe hospital for a recheck. I was thinking that if there were some medical tests in China like Hep c for example and the only test that most countries check for is HIV then would my failed visa be noticed in Taiwan?
Is Taiwan hooked up with CHina? IS Taiwan CHina?
No worries - The doctors said my chest xray ( which I brought from home) was not clear enough and I had to take on here.
So - if the only thing that most countries check for is HIV and you have failed for some other reason could you theoretically work in Taiwan?

Taiwan screens for a number of STD's and communicable diseases....I had a friend who was almost denied entry because his test came back positive for syphillis or something like that, he had to go back for a retest, and the retest came up negative, so yes the health standards are fairly strict here too

Actually , I have been to Saudi and they say that (I am not sure who they are) the Saudi's are the worst. I know I don't have HIV or Syph or any other sexually transmitted disease because I only have sex with myself.
I'm pretty pcikey when it comes to parntners and I am way too cheap to buy drugs - no HIV or syph or hep c - but maybe someone could have - say like - contagious air born bacteria disease or one that you get from a toilet seat like - herpes!!!! Well - the saudis don't check and neither do the Arabs in the Emirates or does Indonesia - So I like China and the next closet thing to "Real" China is "fake" China - so I thought Taiwan....

Actually evrything in China seems to be fake except the real expensive stuff like the fakes that come from the designer shops on every corner in the major cities like Dalian...
So if the Chinese are good at making copies then the real China must be more fake than the fake China ( Taiwan )
Maybe Taiwan is more Chinese than China - who knows-

I've seen the real Thailand in Pattaya at the Siam Museum. The Thailand I lived in was too much a copy of the West - I've been to over sixty countries - So the copy was actually more Real than the "Real" Thailand.

Maybe the Chinese have copied everything so well for so long that they have actually made a better China by making a copy of itself?

Any comments - and please .... "I tell my students this"......Don't Idea copy..
