To pay an extortion fee or bribe or whatever you call it only exacerbates the problem. Stop doing this. When the taxi drivers break the rules, report them so they get punished. The hardest problem to prove is Refusal of Service. In order to prove refusal of service, the burden of proof is on you so you must take pictures and have a recording. If you do not have these 2 pieces of evidence you are wasting your time. I have tried and have learned through trial and error. Just so you know, the biggest fine is for refusal of service - 1000 - 2000 RMB fine.
I have been in China for 11 years and spent 10 of those years in Yunnan. I left the USA for good with no intentions of ever going back. For anyone who has really travelled, you will agree that every country has good as well as bad people and good attributes as well as negative ones. Yunnan has been wonderful for me and I am happy to accept the good and a few inconveniences. Overall, China is a great place to live and it continues to change rapidly.
I travel often, at least once per week, and I have been to every nook and crannie in Yunnan and hope to explore more in the future. Going to out of the way places is great because the people enjoy meeting foreigners and are mesmerized when they see a foreigner. Staring has never bothered me and I take it as a complement rather then a burden. Unless you want to have deep conversations with the people, language is not a barrier. Especially, since the places I visit have few people who speak mandarin anyway. With my limited chinese, I have been able to visit so many places and been able to communicate with eye contact, gestures, a smile, and a piece of paper with my final destination written in Chinese and pinyin. With each passing day my vocabulary grows and I feel like Marco Polo travelling in China for the very first time.
When I am not travelling, I teach University students (English majors only) for free as well as a select few of primary school students who can pass PETS 1 test in the 2nd and 3rd (8-9 years old) grade. I dont have to put up with those rich kids who are lazy and dont want to learn because I can pick and choose only the best kids who truly want to learn.

发布者Alien, I know you mean well but we already live in a world were millions of people are murdered (on purpose) every day and the entire world condones it.
The UN is a useless entity that serves the rich. Israel has violated so many UN resolutions yet the world has done nothing for over 60 years. They murder people and all the UN does is pass resolutions and tell Israel they broke a law. Iraq broke 1 rule and they were on Saddam in a minute. Millions killed in Iraq, Chile, Argentina, Guatemala and the list goes on and the world does what? Nothing. So please do not say it would not be condoned.
Totalitarian control is very possible because there are many countries with this type of govt and it is not Syria or North Korea, or Cuba. The EU is now totalitarian, the peole have no way to vote for their leaders just as in the USA. Billions are given to bankers and the majority of the population disagree but there is nothing they can do because if they try to protest they are beaten and arrested. Am I insane or is this not a fact? How many countries object to austerity measures yet the people can do nothing.
Many people are put on the no-fly list and see what happens to them. They have no legal rights and they are guilty until they can prove themselves innocent. Last I heard there was a 5 year old on the list - Haha.
The USA is a fascist country and this did not happen because of me.
Finally, drugs are NOT uncontrolled. They are in fact very much controlled by the govt. Talk to border Patrol agents (not rookies) and they are told when to search and when not to search. Everyone knows the schedule of the border patrol in San Onofre near Camp Pendleton. Drugs go by in trucks as innocent people are stripped searched at borders in search of drugs while the drugs pass through in huge trucks. It is an illusion.
I am trying to be very clear - it does not matter what I think or you think is an illegal drug - It does not matter because we are dictated what is legal or illegal. We have no choice. If the USA was a democratic contry then many things would change but they never do because it is no longer a republic and it is in no way democratic.
If there was a vote tomorrow, who would vote for spending trillions on war and weapons and who would vote for education, health and so on. Of course, the overwhelming majority would vote for education, infrastructure and NOT war or weapons. So why doesnt it happen???
Alien, I read your posts and you seem logical and intelligent from what and how you write. Is anyhting I am stating here untrue or is it not factual. Look at the condition of the world, the entire world, not just a few countries. Everything is purposely set to fail and cause chaos. Everything!

发布者How about putting a very powerful poison in all illegal drugs so when the drug user take the drug they will literally kill themselves. This way no one must bear the responsibility of their own deaths. After some time, all drug users will die off and the drug demand will end all drug wars. With good education, young people will not fall into this problem.

发布者we all made a pact not to ever do it again after a bad experience. - So even casual drug use does have negative affects on people.

发布者Now the truth comes out. You defend this cause because you are one of the many that do take drugs. I dont care if you took drugs once or 100 times. I dont care if you are useful or not to society. No one is going to execute you. Grow up fool. Dont you realize where you are? This is a forum where people discuss topics and all people have different opinions. This is not a personal battle between Hugo and Blobbles. How old are you? Perhaps the LSD you took as an adolescent has impaired your judgement and left you with the maturity of a 13 year old.
