Well dolphin, apparently I've caught the schoolyard cooties, it's contagious so keep a safe distance...

it's the price to pay for assisting the OP. To keep this thread alive and in high visibility. Hoping the central government in Beijing will eventually take notice - the lack of accountability & transparency on the part of Yunnan's Director of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Li Jiming (李极明), and those at the prefecture-level (mayor hotline #12345), in their mishandling of contract developers and their affiliates.

Whether the provincial officials buckle under the pressure remains to be seen.

I believe this was the intent of Professor John Israel.

@Stratocaster

Exactly. But in our case, we accepted the verdict, forgiven those who wronged us, moved on by finding other avenues in the Mainland to legally earn back previous losses... and for that reason, try my upmost not to rattle the cage.

Even if I wanted to reciprocate, that upvote button is not visible on my browser, for whatever reason. =)

Okay, you win Dazzer.

Let it be known I've never once downvoted anyone on this site, nor would I ever, no matter how much I may disagree with a poster. No opinions in discourse ought to be suppressed/hidden.

@Geezer

Would replacing "down" with below, under, through, or past soothe your OCD itch?... or is it time for a detailed geography layout of Paris? ;)
