Breaking news. Apple removes VPN Apps from China App Store.
Apple is siding with profits over ______. China is one of their biggest markets after all. AAPL stocks would tank if they disobeyed calls to censorship.
Looks like the Great Firewall is being refortified. The war on VPNs has begun.
Right now trending on Chinese social media in Kunming circles, locals are angry with the drowning of mother and child. They are angry that the civilized project has cost tax payers RMB 30 Billion yet their government can't even prevent streets from flooding because of subpar infrastructure.
If we want to be honest with each other. The "civilized" money could be better spent on drainage/sewage revamp. Kunming has been flooding for decades... and certainly susceptible to more flooding in the future.
Supposedly 北区 Northern Kunming has been flooded to the windshields of cars, as well as many parking basements in the city... today or tomorrow would be a disaster for the anticipated Beijing inspections.

University in Yunnan requires students to run 240 kilometers for graduation
发布者Each to his own.
High school students in certain school districts in the U.S. are required to pass swimming exams prior to graduation. In many states, physical education classes are required in junior high.
Where we draw the line of bodily jurisdiction in academia is up for debate.
Notwithstanding, some Yunnan University students may take up this healthy lifestyle for their lifelong benefit.
Forgotten Flying Tigers headquarters and barracks found in Kunming
发布者I too hope the local district government accepts the Flying Tigers Research Institute preservation proposal, albeit the history of this Sino-US alliance gravitated towards the respective air forces of the U.S. and the KMT of China.
Praiseworthy historical reporting by Patrick Scally.

Update: Kunming Metro Line 3 open as of August 29
发布者@Philou You're right, a typo. It ought to be called "胜利堂"... good research.
The actual station ought to be just north of Renming Zhong Lu. behind that modernistic Wuhua People's Government Building. Said empty lot under KRT construction used to be a school.
Across the Renming Zhong Lu. street to the South is the actual "胜利堂" monument. The south gate is known for selling puppies and kittens.
A garden landscaped park along Renming Zhong Lu has recently completed renovation, with a roundabout stone paved road connecting to Kunming 正义 Old Street, which is also being revamped in hopes of one day rivaling LiJiang's old street.
Nice to see Kunming spending money in realizing their 20-year goal.
