I'm planning a trip to China in a few months to work on a story and I've been navigating the Chinese Embassy site. It looks like my Visa options are: J-2 Visa: Issued to foreign correspondents who make short trips to China on reporting tasks. L Visa: Issued to an alien who comes to China for sightseeing, family visiting or other private purposes. Has anyone gone through this before? I'll be traveling with a lot of equipment, so I probably will look like a journalist, but I'm wondering if there's any added hassle with the 'foreign correspondent' visa in terms of getting the visa and traveling throughout the country? thanks. 30 2005-01-20T17:34:17Z 0 2008-09-01T19:57:53Z true 431 false 1155 2008-09-01T19:57:53Z true false traveling-to-china---which-visa 1 2008-09-01T19:57:53Z 282
