    Does anybody know if his book is available anywhere in Kunming? Those bookshops in the Wenhua xiang maybe?

    Mr Taylor's Quote "The fascinating thing about China at this moment is it's as if you have the '50s, '60s, '70s and so on, all those decades with their defining values and mass trends, all merged into one and happening at the same time".

    SO true....China always seems like a time machine to me.

    Like @Bochi I found it refreshing when first arriving in Yunnan to find a relative absence of creepy religion. Ghosts and spirits abound north of Lijiang but non of those virulent Christian fairy stories which serve to put the mythical Christian God on a pedestal above the family (and Party!) thus serving to place further strain on the fabric of society traditionally underpinned by respect for elders and ancestors.

    I was astonished, saddened and even thought the story may be a hoax. Now having read the Washington Post story I can't help but laugh.

    If awareness can be raised, young men are forced to compromise by using condoms and young couples can avoid unwanted pregnancies then great, but the darker side of of this movement is no more likely to catch on than a Kunming car horn ban. This should turn out no more vexing than seeing a Chinese kid filling his face with a Big Mac, swilling it down with a Coca-Cola and wearing an oversized baseball cap back the front. Amway and pyramid selling is probably a worse import.

    Perhaps we should all relax and give Yunnan government more credit. Beside which, for the foreigners on here it's hardly our business to interfere. Maybe we should even apologise, after all, whose fault is it the Bible fairy stories sold more copies than Hans Christian Andersen and then served to fuel the fanatical religious wars which continue to consume the planet?

    Yes! A letter to Beijing! I'm really pissed off about this and I'm very happy to see all the other indignant comments!

    I heard it might be Zhang Zulin that pushed for this, right? Being so Christian and all?

    The article gives a basic idea of what is around Kunming and is obviously not intended to be or to replace the guidebook!
    For people who are seriously interested in rock climbing here buying the guidebook from Redpoint gym is a very good idea.

    Washington Post has some background info, incl. how the FOTF nested inside the Yunnan Ministry of Education and the motives for "cooperation" by the Chinese side. Very evil indead. Maybe it's time for a letter to Beijing.

    usually guys like dobson are just as corrupt and crooked as local leaders. doesnt it always just boil down to face and money?

    OMG Five years ago I left the US largely to get away from right wing Christian nut jobs like these guys. I thought I had made my escape and here they are infiltrating the Yunnan school system. How could this have happened? Truly sad and disheartening!

    Yet another hypocrite fundamentalist Christian succumbs to his inner homosexual. Loudmouth overcompensating in public equals schadenfreude when caught. I like the Shanghaiist's no-nonsense story on the whole deal.

    a little correction here

    Hmong are only a SUB-group of the Miao according to wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/[...]

    "The prominence of Hmong people in the West has led to the situation where the Miao nationality is sometimes referred to as Hmong, despite the fact that they are only one of the sub-groups contained in the classification."

    The Hmong have 'recently' been featured in Clint Eastwood's great movie "Gran Torino".

    Schools should teach knowledge, skills and more important thinking itself, and not neurotic dogmas. I think China can do fine without religion and hope for am asap correction of the curriculum.

    ah, again, buy the guidebook to have REAL indications about how to get to the Fumin crags and Xiaomoyu.
    those are incorrect and incomplete (Fumin has 6 crags, the one listed is old red rock, and you will never get there if you only follow those indications).
    support bolting, buy a guidebook!!!!!
