I think it was 2002, or maybe 2003, when I got my Chinese C1D in Beijing. I simply did the 100 question written, due to having a MC endorsement from Canada. I wasn't a "new arrival", though, as I was commuting between Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong (my primary residence). I think I initially received a 3 year license, because it expired the same date as my home license (i.e., in 2005), then I renewed for 6 years, and then last year (2011), renewed for 10 years. Simple renewal procedures, both times.

I'm still surprised that the poophead jurisdictions are being so silly. I continue to learn new things about the Muddle Kingdom.
