Both Geezer & JanJal need to refresh history of land ownership ex post facto CultRev... lets just say modern China is a lot more civilized than their "spirited" heydays.

You may want to brush up on your Chinese history.
The law of the land wasn't always red,
ipso facto, let us not trigger any more land mines so as to bring down the house.
@alienew
Not far. We owned a small piece of land near Tienanmen Square worth at least 5 mil many years ago. After several years of legal dispute, less than 100K was compensated.
When it comes to China's road to modernization, there's no stopping that train.
If you know the right people, perhaps compensations may be more generous.
Out of curiosity, at any point have you tried contacting the U.S. Embassy for advocacy assistance?
Is this the same Professor John Israel who studied modern Chinese history at Harvard University?
No results found.
Update: Kunming Metro Line 3 open as of August 29
发布者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.

Around Town: Finding solitude in the middle of the city
发布者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.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者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.
