In a related story in this Southwest area of Yunnan, a recent fire in Lincang City's Mengjiao Nationality Township destroyed 101 straw hut cottages within this protected Wending village. Only four huts remain unscathed by the raging fire. Fortunately no fatalities were reported. Reason for fire unclear.

According to the Chinese National Geography magazine, this village of the Wa ethnic minority are the "last tribal village in China."

What are some American good food ideas for children who are lactose intolerant and have food allergies? I am moving in with my husband in New York and so don't want to disturb the diet routines of my daughter whom I have raised in Italy.

WayoftheSun. False info? I am just raising some points how the present situation has come to this. Don't blame me but the unscrupulous breeders and owners that keep dogs for the wrong reasons and on top of that don't know how to deal with them.

I have no problem understanding that your shepherd is a proper dog and you know how to deal with but the situation I see around me here is China is different. Lots of gangster breeders and owners that don't know even the basics.

A muzzle is not the solution. Just two recent cases in England and New Zealand where kids were mauled by their family dogs in their own homes.

I am with lemon on this. There are good owners but in a culture where a dog is not mans best friend, there are more bad ones. There are also problem breeds and the good dogs get lumped in with the bad. As for the muzzle law, well laws don't mean much here.

Lemon that's a bunch of false info, i've had dogs people called aggressive my whole life and they're sweet dogs. most people wanna raise dogs well but don't know how. community education programs would be awesome, or having people apply for permits to own these dogs instead of banning. i don't get why the muzzle law wasn't enough, no dog can bite w a muzzle on. china has a right to do as it wishes it just sucks for people like me with a german shepherd service dog, now i have to either live way outside the city or a small town somewhere if i wanna move back. i can't live without my dog.

Yes, Spam is even Covid proof.
Still amasing that Spam reacts to a more than 10 year old article ;-)

The last post proves that Spam is alive and well and more than just a registered trademark.

most of the time this happens. Now everyone doing a violation of the trademark. That's why www.trademarkterminal.com/ always suggests every business owner to register a trademark so that no one can use your business name.

@Matt: yeah, quite the game changer for a place like Lincang!

Wow!

Brian is looking good and speaks Chinese very well.

I like how the cover image is New York and not Kunming
