Yunnan government pushing for new Eurasian land bridge
Posted bythats interesting. I wonder if they'll lay some data cables at the same time. Right now all data comes in and out of China via Tianjin, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Therefore to get to Europe from Yunnan it has to go across china, across the pacific, across the US and then across the atlantic making it almost unusable. If they had data pipes going West on the proposed road/rail routes that could speed things up significantly.

Yunnan news roundup
Posted byI wish the elevated rail were 1st priority, not the elevated 2d ring road. Bigger highways = more cars = more pollution, and all the other foolishness associated with cars.
Yunnan news roundup
Posted byThat was one happy python I bet.
"CBA director Xin Lancheng singled out foreign players as being one of the league's major problems, saying they were overpaid and hard to manage, adding that rules regarding foreign players would be revised."
Typical. Blame the foreigners for not bending over backwards for their employers. 19 of 20 on the top scorers list were foreigners you say? How does that fit with them being "overpaid"?
Photo contest to promote conservation in Yunnan
Posted byNot sure...there's a list of rules on the website, perhaps you could ask a favor of a chinese friend and have him look through them for you.

Pollution pushing Mekong dolphins toward extinction
Posted byThere goes another one! How long does it take before PC deference means we have another extinct animal? The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world they were ignorant, and didn't know any better. Shameful.
Yunnan dam projects halted by environmental ministry
Posted bywww.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jun/15/china-hydropower-dam
I wouldn't be too optimistic about this, there's too much money to be had.
Yunnan dam projects halted by environmental ministry
Posted byGreat that the government at least is trying to put some weight against raging capitalism when it potentially can devastate the ecology and environment in 3 provinces. Doubt it is more than a short intermission on the other hand.

Posted bycartoons... there was a great SARS-related poster which i saw in Shanghai of a guy strolling along, nonchalantly spitting a massive bomb.

Posted byBetter stock up on smokes, canned goods and drinks before going home then. I wonder if they let Lazy Bones into a quarantined building.
