Unsure what the Holding Deposit Assistance is. I am "assuming" it is just another wording of the 10K deposit assistance mentioned above in the list. The company will pay your landlord up to 10K in rental deposits to help you move into an apartment. The down side is, when you move out and your Chinese landlord decides he has to keep 4000 dollars of your deposit for "damanges and wear and tear", you owe that 4 grand back to FedEx!

Unsure also of the Ongoing Implementation Measures clause. It probably means the company can continue to change whatever they want as the HKG Fda opens and other problems/issues arise.

The Habitation Tax Coverage is NOT the 80K tax exemption. Our ex-pat exemption was given away when the LOA was ratified. The whole "tax equalization thing" elminates your ex-pat tax benefit; Your pay checks will adjusted to equal what you would be making if you lived in the USA. The must be some additional tax (there's a LOT of randon made up taxes in China) associated with an expat living there, and I would guess the company has agreed to pay this.
