@Ilan G.
I would give an answer that is compatible with 'normal' use.
- want to buy a car
-driving to the shops, college, Dali, etc.
Perhaps they don't want people driving to the border to buy drugs. And the travelling across China could indeed be a problematic answer for many reasons.
Lots of people bend the rules, and this is normal business practice in China.
There are expats who have mortgages and own property as a result of rule bending. As long as the mortgage gets paid there is not a problem.
Most Chinese regulations and laws are written loosely and there is a lot of room for interpretation. That is why there is so much variation between different cities and different provinces.
An example of rule bending. You cannot buy property in Kunming unless you have paid tax here for 12 months. However you can go to an accountant who will provide 12 months of tax reciepts. The local government know about this, but don't care as you have provided paperwork.
Another example, you cannot own more than 1 property (non KMG Hukou holders) in Kunming, or two properties for locals. However, you can buy additional property in Anning, which is technically Kunming, but didn't used to be. If the regulations were applied strictly then this would not be permitted, however it is a recognised grey area that is exploited.
China lives in the grey areas.

Beware of dictionaries.
The words you were probably wanting to use were 'proofread' and 'advice on editing'.
Ref overseas banks. They are more tightly regulated than local banks and will be unable to bend the rules. And the rules for overseas banks are different, they are not allowed to do many things that Chinese banks can in this market.
@TICexpats
Then what is a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE)?
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
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.

I guess that is what you call Buddhism with a Chinese face.

发布者Blobbles, if there are not trees, you may be able to make out farmers routes on Google Earth. You can sometimes.
If you have personal GPS you could also check progress by pre-defining lat-long from Google Earth before you leave home and write them on a print out.
Just an idea.
