@Daithi: If you read carefully what is sometimes written it is comedic. I do find writings with an agenda and based on provably incorrect facts to be intellectually dishonest. To deny an existent fact, a written law, is less than honest. To have an opinion on the efficacy of that law is quite fine with me, I have no quarrel. To base endless opinions and massive verbiage on a mistake of fact is tedious. To resort to ad hominin references of delusion and intransigence because one holds fast to an easily provable fact is.... Actually, I don't have word for that. I used a PC incorrect word; "lie." For that I apologize. My inability to acceptably characterize the repeated misstatement of fact in spite of, and in the face of, clear references to the existence of that fact, is my failing.
The world is full of wannabees. Those are "coulda, shoulda, woulda," types and those that, for some reason, were unable to achieve. Often it isn't the right time or place but that is life. Often it is a personality issue, or, something in experience, relationships or attitude that prevents one's success. I've been there, done that. Hell, I knew I was smarter, better educated, confident to beyond arrogance, and with a bit of PTSD in the mix, I was doing good work. My then boss, a racist pig, and corrupt to boot, whose corporate ass I had saved, told me, "You have to get along or you'll never go along for long." After some introspection, I changed jobs, stopped acting like an entitled asshole and life came to me.
To those who become bitter, feel victimized, cheated and frustrated while feeling so superior they feel the need to feign arrogance, I say go a buy a small pocket mirror. When you get pissed off, pull out that little mirror and look at the reason for your anger, unhappiness and problems.
So Daithi, thanks for appreciating my warped humor. ;-)

Kunming dog registration required as of August 1, 2019
发布者@Liumingke1234: Unfortunately, banned dogs are banned. In the past banned dogs have been clubbed death on the street by police or who ever is tasked with removing them. You can find videos of this happening if you look for them.
This video is dated but the banned list is up to date.

Protests challenge Myanmar's Belt and Road participation
发布者The BRI is genius. Projects are brought about by China conceiving a project, engineering it, gaining local political support, financing it, building it with Chinese labor and when the debt can't be serviced takes the natural resources used to collateralize the debt. In the case of dam in close proximity, China gets the energy as well. In response to criticism of China, Xi is now saying China will curtail what many countries say is predatory tactics.
More than a half century ago the US and Russia used this approach to extend their hegemony. One of the greatest dam projects, the Aswan Dam built by Russia, turned into gigantic problems.
