Yes guys the medical in China is a real 'event'!! Here at CSA we constantly have guys being taken off the line for medical failures. Most of the time its for imaginary 'issues' but nevertheless you WILL lose your salary until someone somewhere decides that indeed what they 'found' in you is not actually there and you will invariably get the medical back again. This will probably take a few months in most cases so sounds alright but unless you have an insurance that pays out as soon as you are taken off the line then you'll be drastically out of pocket after those few months. Now bearing in mind most of us are in China for the same reason, it really is a spin of the roulette wheel every time you go in for the medical chack.
Cheers all
