Learn Chinese -Mike needs a Chinese driver’s license!- Chinese Online Class
By chinesecourse | January 10, 2012
| An international driver’s license doesn’t work in many areas in China. You have to apply for a Chinese license because some of China’s traffic signals and control systems are different from those of other countries. You will have to pass all theory and practice tests before receiving a driver’s license in China. |
