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.

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)?

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.

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.
