U.S. Homeland Security probably isn't surveilling jaywalkers, yeah?
This tech is more likely used by USCIS to track non-citizens/immigrants under current administration. The Huxleyan non-conformed "real American" shall be under his eye. That would be less farfetched.
Food for thought during Thanksgiving.
Yes, drivers given tickets end up on aforementioned jumbotron of shame.
Thus facial recognition cameras that automatically deduct social credit scores for litterers, spitters, smokers, and jay-walkers may not be a terrible "Orwellian" path en route to a 文明er 昆明, in contrast to a Brave New 'Merica.
For those whose photos were reprocessed for visa extensions this year, your facial biometrics are uploaded to the central algorithmic database for standby waiting for the proverbial green light.
@Jan
It definitely helps that jumbotron displays license plate numbers of those who do not yield to pedestrians.

I respect any novice or veteran chocolatier who DIY their own truffles, especially with organic honey! lol
speaking of which, Truffles d'Or from Belgium are on sale at Parkson. Similar ones from France look tempting as well.
Mobike. One word. You're totally uncool to mess that up! ;)
Cool was never a word to describe Yunnan. That adjective is reserved for places like NYC, South Beach, Ibiza, or Shinjuku.
Yunnan is... (fill in blank)?

Ruili: Faint echoes of Yunnan's wild west
发布者High speed rail from Dali to Ruili is in operation. A two-hour journey.
@Peter is right. Cross-border illicit drug smuggling by Chinese-speaking Burmese ladies from Myanmar may still needs to be addressed w/ more accountability by local border patrols on both sides. It's Yunnan's wild west.

NGO sues Yunnan dam developer over environmental degradation
发布者Limited transmission capacity is another issue facing these hydro renewable power sources.
Local transmission companies would rather take on cheaper, coal-fired power providers in lieu. Leaving low grid connectivity for these hydropower resources. "Curtailment" is the industry jargon for their poor access to the power market. Clean hydropower wastage ensues.

Beijing announced today to setup renewable power quotas. Mandating local governments to give renewable electricity sources priority grid access. The goal is to reduce wastage rates by 12% in 2019. 5% in two years.

Would it be entirely far-fetched to assume this lawsuit was somehow funded by competing coal industries as a mean of regaining leverage in the regional power market? Using own EPA-kryptonite to fight against their nemesis? Not so much peafowl as foul play. When it comes to business, murky policies sometimes flow with the money stream.
