Forums > Living in Kunming > Reasons for deportation If someone builds something, could be new that replaced what was there before, they will want to protect it.
It could be an economy or just assets. Whether or not other parties think they have a right to be there, the assets are owned and understandably will be protected by the owners.
For a government to say, 'OK our ancestors had no right to be hear, so come and take over our houses, our factories, and help yourselves to anything else you want.' Well we all know that is a ridiculous extension of the argument. But that is a natural extension of the argument.
Australia, for example, needs to come to terms with the realities it faces today. It also needs to come to terms with its past, and Australia has done more in this area than most countries. Tying issues together only creates a 'bugger's muddle', that would help no cause.

Some countries do not even have 100% free movement, within their own borders, for all of their own population.

Black tea, called red tea in China.
Most British brands of tea will be tea from India or Srilanka (Ceylon).
English Breakfast tea is the most common blend. This mostly consists of Assam and Ceylon tea.

Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者I see on CGTN that the government has just released its 3rd wave of environmental inspectors across the nation, to evaluate local government performance. It looks like they are getting serious this time.
Four years after murder conviction, Yunnan man walks free
发布者Also a good example of why due process, and public defenders are needed. This includes the defense having access to forensic evidence.
This guy was lucky.
Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者@ Peter, people have been jailed for handling stolen rental bikes, there was a news story on local TV a couple of weeks back, and I think people were jailed in 3 separate cases. I think in two cases it was 15 days, I think the cops are targeting this, as the whole bike thing is a government initiative.
There are also grass roots volunteer groups liberating stolen bikes, and reporting stolen bikes. I think people trying would get reported, unusual for china as that is.
These bikes are probably too highly visible and recognizable to just chuck on the back of a sanlun che, and ride them through a scrap metal dealer's gates.
Up to 1,000 Dali businesses to close in face of new policy
发布者I visited Dali, 2-3 years ago, and cycling around the lake I could not believe that they had built hotels/guest houses along the shore side.
One also needs to think about the run off from the construction sites, going into the lake, with local small building firms doing the jobs.
I am glad that they finally jumped on this.
Blackwater founder bringing new security firm to China
发布者A few years ago, someone told me that several thousand Chinese business men, on business trips, just disappear every year. I am sure that shipments of goods disappear at an even more alarming rate. I wonder how many truck drivers are hijacked heading south and west, once they leave China. Probably a very big business opportunity for a logistics security service provider, with experience of this kind of work; which FSG seems to have.
