Forums > Living in Kunming > Websites being redirected to infected pages It's the DNS server doing it. Ichina telecom has been doing it for years. Change your DNS server and it should go away.
The reason the .cn sites sometimes get redirected is the same. Your dns server your VPN is using probably doesn't have the site cached so asks a DNS server in China for the information.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Dropbox not working? If you want to run your own check out this list:
alternativeto.net/software/dropbox/?license=opensource
But a quick search on Baidu found dozens of alternatives that shouldn't be blocked by China. Assuming the files aren't of a sensitive nature then that's going to be your hassle free bet.
Just search for 百度网盘,酷盘,百度云,微云。。。any major internet company in china + 云 or 网盘 should get plenty of results.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Dropbox not working? So why not just setup your own website or ftp server? Outside of China it starts at only a few dollars a month for around 20 GB of space.. Assuming these aren't huge files I don't imagine it costing too much money in China.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Dropbox not working? There was the annual march in Hong Kong for democracy, and related protests this week. That's probably why it was blocked. When there are protests, "elections", or anything important almost everything gets blocked then. If you want reliable service you just have to get a VPN.

American conservative group makes inroads into China's classrooms
发布者I don't think high schools and universities are going to have a week long session of role-playing. It will be just another pamphlet given to students along with the current material, and then likely never be discussed in class beyond a few minutes.
Besides that, discussing family values in high school and college is a wee bit late. Heck, in my rural conservative hometown we started studying sex education in 4th grade.
Another point is that the English should probably be "addicted to" and not "mentally dependent on"
Welcome to the new GoKunming.com!
发布者The layout seems a little unbalanced, but not bad. I think it's because some text that doesn't have it's own boxed in background seems lost, like it's just floating around. Forums need to be updated to have threaded posts.. a rating system would be great. Even if it would something as simple as marking posts as "troll/flame" or "off topic".
Yunnan news roundup
发布者I think the shortage of water is of usable water. I've heard that Dianchi lake is so bad that they can't even use the water for industrial usage. So I'm guessing, or at least hoping the water they use is ok for grass, but not for drinking... probably sewage water.

Kunming News Roundup
发布者haha... the schools "quarantine" is useless. Students regularly leave the school. There's even a path between the bushes where they leave.
Many students have already gone home. Supposedly they're all supposed to come back now and sit around to do nothing.
Plus they let everyone and anyone talk at the main gate.
