Forums > Living in Kunming > Latest Work Permit Requirement In Kunming

My understanding is that work permits are handled by Yunnan Province not Kunming City. A work permit gets you to the next step a residency permit at the public safety bureau which also acts as a visa. The rules regulations and interpretations of same change on a regular basis. Foreign Registered offices are now required to present a home country Chinese consulate certification for both your business and foreign business bank. My bank letter notarization of the notarization, notarization's certified just cost me about $1000 to get done.

Just to let you all know American avocados are not allowed to be imported by the Chinese government. It maybe phytosanitary reasons. Many other countries may not officially be allowed to export to China. In general the Chinese have not experienced this great fruit so no demand. Many of my Chinese friends here once introduced and told why they are good for you enjoy Avocados.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Fake Apple Store in Kunming

Did I say world wide publicity. I just saw a copy of the Ventura County California STAR newspaper Sunday July 24 business section. A fairly small circulation newspaper.

A two page story titled,
iFraud: Apple stores being faked in China Unauthorized sellers redefine the word 'piracy'
BirdAbroad is now world famous.
This story appears to be mostly copied from the China Daily article.

Guys this is all over the world now. Kunming the provincial capital of Yunnan in REMOTE Southwest China is famous again.

Its almost as good as the time in 2008 during the Olympics in Beijing when Yunnan customs seized hundreds bibles at the airport that a group was trying to bring into China. Probably because the group did not pay the taxes to import "books".

On the plus side, these fake Apple stores did at least follow the new Kunming ordnance to have English signage.

Lastly, does anyone remember when an apple was just something you ate?

I, an American, was recognized as one of the Zheng He ambassadors. It will be on YNTV tonight 7-17 and tomorrow. Zheng He should be a role model or inspiration for Chinese youth to become the next expolrers of outer space and exploration of the planets.

I would suggest that hundreds of thousands of trees, shrubs and plants were killed by the cold. Air quality and air safety is going to be a real problem in the area without a massive replanting scheme by all. Yes some plants will revive. Some will be finished off by massive over trimming. The continuing cold weather is not helping. What is the government planning to do and how can we help?

I can personally comment on Qiu He. I can honestly say that when I directly asked him for help to stay in Yunnan, five years ago, his staff directed me to the proper city and provincial government staff persons. I gave no bribes. Paid no one anything. Nor was I asked to give any benefits anyone for anything they helped me with to stay in the province. I have never had to pay any government person to stay here in business.

Where might we find or obtain a break out or list of the non-mainland passport holders living in Yunnan by country or other location? We are particularly interested in the general numbers of various westerner nationalities living here.
