Please DO NOT post info about PROXY SERVERS	08/29/2010	8

Please DO NOT post COUCHSURF REQUESTS in this group	06/11/2010	8
Couches should be found via Couch Search. We advise you to post city/region subgroup ONLY in case of emergency (host cancelled last minute, urgent/sudden trip, sent many CS requests and got no answer etc).

Using CouchSurfing for any commercial purpose whatsoever; or assisting any third party in doing so is forbidden by Terms of Use.
Please post city/region related topics to city/region sub-group	06/11/2010	7
You are more likely to get an answer about particular area/city by posting it to relevant sub-group. You can find the list of sub-groups under China group.
Check this before creating a new sub-group	06/11/2010	7
Before creating a sub-group under China group, you should ask yourself: 1) Isn't this group already existing with another name or even under another group? 2) Will this group be useful for the community? We would like to ask you to inform one of the China group moderators before creating the sub-group. We are able to guide you to any similar groups already existing or help you in creating the group. It will also help us to avoid excessive inactive groups.
