I am going on a two month trip to China and my passport expires?
You arent even going to get on the airplane to go to China if you dont renew your passport. Its illegal for the air carrier to accept you on your outbound flight, if your passport wont be valid long enough for your to get on your return flight. If by some error your outbound carrier does accept you onto the flight, you will be turned away at the Chinese border, because its illegal to enter the country if your passport will expire before your return flight. In fact, they expect your passport to be valid for at least three months AFTER the date of your return flight, in case you get sick and your return home is delayed.
