Well its pretty true, you need a company to do the conversion for you, you won't be able to do it on your own. Plus your license will have the company name on, so you won't be able to jump ship with your license unless they let you. Be prepared for the long process in china, but I guess its worth it if you get a job in the end. I've recently gained myself a job with a company in china, and did the very thorough medical check in china, and I mean it was very thorough, brain scans, 3 test tubes of blood, heart scans, chest scans, they even got an old man to feel your private bits to see if theres anything wrong down there, once or twice is ok, but every year OMG, its going to be fun....
