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.
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.
Exciting times in Kunming. Line 3 is about to start very soon, probably next month. Don't mind them taking time for safety precautions.
Line 5 "交三桥" station near Cuihu Lake has already begun construction with visible crane by 中铁十八局. There is another "交三桥" station with the exact name on Line 2 (adjacent to the East on the KRT map), which is kind of confusing.
Thank you for this post. Early mornings just before break of dawn will always reap quiet solitude in any city. For said morning birds, get the Kunming Zoo (Yuantong Hill) annual pass for just a little over 100RMB, and enjoy peaceful morning walks or jogging (w/ changing elevations) before 7am.
I hear lots of locals in Dali are suffering from the mass shortage of tourists, not just the foreigner-run guest houses around the lake. Short-term sacrifice for long-term sustainability I suppose. Hang in there Dali.
