Just realised that I mixed up Rakhine and Kachin. Sorry for that. Kachin is of course the Burmese state right across the Chinese border.

Very unlikely Rohingya Muslims would be here. But there are many more groups at odds with the powers that be in Myanmar. This includes nearly all groups living near the Chinese border and include the Rakin, Shan, Wa, Lisu and ethnic Chinese that have lived for centuries in the region just across the border and as well the Kuomintang soldiers that moved to there after the communist takeover of Yunnan. Many of these groups are spread out on both side of the border and therefor it is easier.

Same applies for the border with Laos and Vietnam.

I don’t think many involved in protest against the military coup in Myanmar have left for China. Anyway the census was before the coup.

The explanation for the high number in Yunnan is simple. The fast majority of them are people from across the southern and western border that entered Yunnan to escape the violence in Myanmar and people from across these borders that look for better economic prospects then the ones prevailing in their area of origin.
The number of westerners in Yunnan has gone up as well in the last 10 years but is still only a small percentage of the total.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Forest fire in the North

The header of this article is/was a bit confusing. For most of us being based in Kunming the "North" is an area of Kunming north of the Kunming North railway station. From the article and the description of Vera I understand that the fire is north of Dali.

Anyway the article is a reminder that we have to be careful about fire; not only does it destroy nature but has a cost in human lives as well, like in this case.

I largely agree with you that it is not the dog but the owner that is the problem. But you have to realize that there is a correlation between them, like people that buy a Lamborghini are more likely to be involved in a high speed accident than people who buy a QQ.
The problem is that people that, let say, buy a pit bull terrier, usually are not doing so to prove that these are nice family dogs but do so for the reasons why these dogs are forbidden now.

An other point is that certain breeds which where OK before, like for example the various shepherd breeds, for whom I have as well have good experiences, I was allowed to walk a friend's shepherd when only 4 years old, have changed.
Many of these dogs are not any longer what they used to be. This because of unscrupulous breeding for commercial reasons. The nice and friendly shepherd I walked as a 4 year old is not the same as the shepherd my neighbor bought as a status symbol to go with his Cayenne.
For this reason I support banning breeds. Not because of the dogs but because of the owners.

Dognappig
Kidnapping of a dog in our compound occurred yesterday. The dog was lured outside with a ham sausage and then taken off the compound. Security camera's showed all the action even of the kidnapping lady buying the ham sausage in the convenience store next to the compound.
The dog involved was an Akita, which is one of the forbidden dog breeds in Kunming. Apparently there still is a market for these dogs.
