I'm aware that like any other country, China requires prospective visa holders to pass a health check to ensure they are in overall good health.
My question is: how extensive is the process of having one's health checked in pursuit of a visa? Is it as simple as going for a physical and getting a clean health certificate, or is one's entire medical history (physical health, mental health, past medical procedures etc) taken into account, going all the way back to childhood? How rigorous is the process?
For full disclosure I want to say that my health is fine, but for curiosity's sake I want to know what to expect should I ever attempt a move to China. Thanks in advance.
