Google maps works in China without VPN as long as you use the CN version (In English) in a brouwser:
www.google.cn/maps/@25.0251195,102.7620247,11z
This will give you Kunming but you can go anywhere you like. The app does not work here but the Apple Maps app does.
You can use as well QQ.map:
map.qq.com/[...]
(This will give you Salvadors coffee shop but again you can go anywhere and this gives you the QQ version of Streetview)
For an offline version you can use:
www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/25.0134/102.7441
For the real freaks there is ofcourse Google Earth. Works both on line, and if you preload offline both on the net and as an app. (Streetview however does not work in China nor can you view pictures)

Avoid as well topics that have no topic in the topic line like this one. “Is this true” is not a topic.

Well then they even fooled the Embassy.
The YCG exist but the guys you had contacts with are scammers misusing the name of others.

When renting a place always insist that the landlord shows the ownership certificate and his ID card (The name should be the same of course). Photo copy this as well. If they refuse than you know you are scammed.

I largely agree with you that it is not the dog but the owner that is the problem. But you have to realize that there is a correlation between them, like people that buy a Lamborghini are more likely to be involved in a high speed accident than people who buy a QQ.
The problem is that people that, let say, buy a pit bull terrier, usually are not doing so to prove that these are nice family dogs but do so for the reasons why these dogs are forbidden now.

An other point is that certain breeds which where OK before, like for example the various shepherd breeds, for whom I have as well have good experiences, I was allowed to walk a friend's shepherd when only 4 years old, have changed.
Many of these dogs are not any longer what they used to be. This because of unscrupulous breeding for commercial reasons. The nice and friendly shepherd I walked as a 4 year old is not the same as the shepherd my neighbor bought as a status symbol to go with his Cayenne.
For this reason I support banning breeds. Not because of the dogs but because of the owners.

Dognappig
Kidnapping of a dog in our compound occurred yesterday. The dog was lured outside with a ham sausage and then taken off the compound. Security camera's showed all the action even of the kidnapping lady buying the ham sausage in the convenience store next to the compound.
The dog involved was an Akita, which is one of the forbidden dog breeds in Kunming. Apparently there still is a market for these dogs.

When I read the header I thought that is fast because last night the just visited me. Turned out the article is about the previous census ;-)
