@ iTeach: Like herding cats - what do you want done about it?
Another issue, or maybe the same one: I realize the gokunming staff does not include a meteorologist, but the gokunming weather forecast, updated at 5pm, said 'Partly cloudy... 85% humidity...'
Ten minutes later a crashing thunderstorm came down on my apartment & lasted for about half an hour... Now it's sunny...
Science fails again... claim that sunset will be at 6:50 today, what are my chances?
I think cloudtrapezer is generally right about registering weeks late, but I don't think anybody should take it as guaranteed - I remember a particular weirdness that happened to a friend, although it was over 10 years ago.
However, on Sunday I arrived in Kunming late, coming from abroad; law says I have to register within 24 hours; I went to the PSB 48 hours later, and because of National Day/week, the person who registers (foreigners, at least) wasn't on duty. The cop on duty there checked with somebody upstairs, then told me to come back early on Sep. 8. I plan to do so, but you can see that it's (often, I believe) somewhat loose.
Have never had the slightest trouble or aggro at my local PSB office, over many years and with various types of visa. Maybe once a year (actually it seems much less often) a cop does visit my flat, look at my passport and then leaves, no hassle.
OK. but I think.I'd use 'they', for accuracy' - 'we' is too simple and too vague, besides which it seems to speak primarily to US and Chinese posters.
Anyway, note that, for the US military and government, the China theatre was considered the least important of the various theatres of WWII in which US military personnel were engaged, whereas for the Chinese it was, obviously, the most important.
TK2018: Yes, I agree. Very nice writing, not just of the place but also of the experience. I envy the author this one. In reading the article I found myself remembering a few experiences I've had in similar mountain country decades ago (I hope this doesn't sound like boasting) and thinking the author and I had attained more or less the same plane, something we could share if we met - I could identify. Not everyone can express it this well.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

发布者I'm not sure why - careful with what pronouns stand for - but it's a very interesting and exciting history.
