I did not realize that. But I could see that for countries such as UK, USA, Canada, Schengen agreement countries. Are you suggesting that neither a chinese/ china embassy visa officers, ECO(entry clearance officer) nor immigration officers would recognize that? Not to mention I have asked a immigration attorney in regards to that and he mentioned in many words that they would not take into account the stamp from the other country for something as minor as a fine or what not. I have also asked people who were former ECO about it- suggested same thing. Unless there was a criminal history involved in any place, that would be a different story- which I do not.
