Some good comparisons I have heard over the years.
Chinese drive the same way they play chess - on the lines, not in the box (lanes). Driving is a new (10-15 years) phenomena here in China. But after 12 years I see a significant difference on a daily basis. When driving from Kunming to Dali just about every other car drove on the line 12 years ago, now those are the minority and they are horn blasted out of the way by passing trucks, buses and SUVs - change on an individual and group level.
Religion (Buddhism, Taoism, + Confucianism) have all been intergrated and the average (40 - 50 years and younger) person can not answer simple questions about any of these aspects of religion. People go to temple to rub Buddhas belly and wish for luck and money - that is the extent of their knowledge. Mostly older people (over 60 - 3 generations ago) visit the temples and can answer many questions regarding dieties and practices. I know, I am the Temple king of Kunming and have visited over 256 temples in 5 districts.
Unlike other SE Asian countries where buddhism is a way of life and practiced daily by all members of the family. The tradition is still alive in younger people.
I mention these 2 to show how people and chinese culture are changing rapidly now - Mianzi is another such example.
To be rich is glorious - Deng Xiao Ping - This is all that matters now until it goes to far and the pendulum must swing in the opposite direction (Destruction of environment and destruction of Family values).
Lets see what the LAW has to say about this topic. These regs are from 2013 which I believe to be outdated as well as there is no mention of 72V Ebikes. Only mentions 48V and 64V.
This is a great topic to address with 12345 - the Mayors Hotline to get a clear answer as to what is legal and illegal. If anything, complaints will at least force them to update the regulations.
Internet has made people aware of some unusual Chinese Phenomena which are the result of the 1 Child policy which recently changed in 2015. Examples such as 421, Little Emperor, Hong Kong Kids, Boomerang Kids and the dramatic increase of kids going to school abroad at earlier ages (before was mostly for university).
All these factors are changing the Family Dynamics of chinese culture on an individual as well as a group level.
I have to disagree. As I mentioned earlier, my wife is presently attending many Parenting classes here in Kunming and other large cities that offer/conduct this type of training. The Family dynamic is changing and evolving very quickly right now and will see many changes throughout the next decade.
Again, this is due to western influence. All changes first must take place on an individual level (family) before they can evolve into group level chnages (business). The way of doing business is chnaging as a result of people changing.
Greed - He wins 9 million but the article is about what he Could Have won. Greed never ends. I am sure the farmer will buy all he can but his children will not go to better schools. He will just build a bigger house in his village to show off. Look in a lottery store and you will see the people spend hours in there staring at the previous numbers trying to figure out the magic formula for the next winning numbers. Most people spend moe money then they wil ever win. Sick!
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

US, China to extend visas for short-term business travelers, tourists, and students
发布者90 days for S2 visas and 120 days for Q2 visas.
I dont think it is a good idea as you must come and go every 120 days.
The Residence Permit allows you to stay without having to leave every so often.
