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.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Reasons for deportation Ideally, with a more equitable sharing of wealth across the globe, free movement to and from all counties would not be an economic issue.
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.

发布者For many societies, once people have elevated to a level of 'security', through wealth or power, these people turn away from religion towards mammon.
Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者I would guess that a proportion of the money is being invested. Invested in setting up (dumping lots of bikes on the streets) in new cities to attract more deposits. If that is the case, there are parallels with Ponzi schemes.

发布者Didi are unlikely to go broke anytime soon, but even if OFO is owned by Didi, if it is running at a loss, Didi will offload it very quickly. Once the business case is established, or not, people will either re-invest or divest.
The OFO bikes are cheap, have a manual lock, no GPS, I assume no app except for payment. These are the bikes mostly seen ridden by kids, who often are riding a misappropriated machine. It looks like the OFO business model is lowest cost, and accept the losses of assets.
The MOBIKEs have remote locking, and GPS tracking. The bikes were custom built and were expensive to have made, but the app helps to find the nearest bike, and you can reserve them, to save you walking to a bike which in the meantime is hired by someone else. The MOBIKE business model seems to be larger upfront costs, but better service, and traceability of the assets.
I am not sure if the OFO business case is sustainable, only time will tell.
Report: Kunming to add two Metro lines
发布者Elevated trains would have been quicker, which is why they use them for long sections of track outside the city.
However, it would have requited tearing down whole neighborhoods, causing huge disruption to city life, not just traffic. Then there is the socio-economic impacts of closing down large areas of the city. Additionally, the large numbers of demolitions would have a major impact on air quality, and what do you with all of the building rubble.
Finally, the increased cost for the whole process; bearing in mind that cost was also a major factor in the lack of progress thus far.
Around Town: Kunming's secluded Lianhua Temple
发布者It might be a new guy, or there is some other visit on this week. It is probably worth trying again, and if the same guy is there, just tell him you are going up to the temple.
