I think I know someone who streams Netflix from a USA server via VPN. I think they have a family member use a US address for the subscription.
I download all of the TV series and movies I want to watch. Most news is online, and many sports that are not ppv can be watched on BBC.
Middle school students were selected (don't know how) from the middle school we operated from. Class sizes were up to 20. Some of these students graduated to the bridge program.
Like almost every bridge program the parents had to have the ability to pay, as well as the students had to have the ability to participate. Class sizes were under 10.
Students on the bridge (1st year uni) program had to pass an on-line entry test (managed by the universities) to be accepted.
This is somewhat different from AP, where anyone can participate.
"How much would a good salary be for those outside the categories you've mentioned?"

A salaried position on a bridge program, in Kunming. Taught one subject to high school gao san, and
another subject to students in year one of an overseas university program (teacher needed a masters in that field), and some academic English (CELTA). Teacher had to have experience teaching in China.
Pay was controlled by overseas universities' that set up the bridge arrangement. As such it followed the requirements for qualifications, pay scales (based on qualifications), allowances, holidays and other conditions.
Base pay was 16k upwards, living allowance was 4.5k. The lowest paid bridge program teacher was clearing 20.5k.
At the other end of the scale, you have universities in Yunnan paying less than 4k, but providing accom, and flights home.
Following one of the links in the article above society.yunnan.cn/html/2015-06/24/content_3791994.htm there are details of how Operation Fake Sword unfolded in Yunnan. (in Chinese but it translates will in Chrome).
Mentions of the internet reporting for food and drug safety problems, and of the 200 kids who got food poisoning in Songming last year.

If you can find the original reports online, there is more detail, and it is clearer.
The stuff was being transferred from frozen, but with no cold chain some of it defrosted and was re-frozen several times. Some of it subsequently started to rot.
If someone can tell me how to put an arrow on a google map, and then post a link to the annotated map, I can put up the location of the wholesale market that specialises in mushrooms. They will be much cheaper there than anywhere else.
Be aware thought that the qizong are currently new season and about 45rmb/liang i.e. 450rmb/Kg.
This is a bit of a toxic industry, especially in China. It needs regulating and enforcement. Glad to see this has happened.
As for 1rmb tours. They should be very easily to regulate out by targeting them. It is, I believe illegal to tie tourists to spending money. I have no sympathy for anyone in this case.
Where Mike4gair keeps his boats is a good location. There is easy parking, and I am pretty sure the pedal boats. It is on the north shore away from the crowded areas, but there are some places to eat not far from there.
You may also be able to arrange some sailing with Mike.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
