Forums > Living in Kunming > China driving licence

So indeed it is the age thing.
According to the present law no one will be able to drive after 70.
China has a lot of catch up to do with the whole age thing they are way behind in their legislation. Laws for driving are made as for chauffeurs and not for normal citizens.
Things keep on changing however. In China there are now important people getting old who want to be able to drive and there will be a push for a change in this because of that. So keep an eye out for possible changes.

I know the medicals are a bit of a joke but I know they keep the worst out. When I got my license there was a man in front of me in the cue (No privacy of course) who was as good as blind. He didn't pass despite his arguing that he only drives his 3 wheeler in the town where he lives and knows all the street there ;-)

Imported. "China Daily said smugglers bought cheap meat abroad, shipped it to Hong Kong and on to Vietnam before bringing it to the mainland. Can you imagine the transport cost and the cost of storing it 40 years."

Sorry but even if it is in the Guardian it still is not credible.

40 year old meat.
How many times have I heard this urban legend ???

Same story on this same forum 2 year ago. See:

That story again goes back to the Mao years. So I can repeat my reply:

"46 years ago was 1967. China was in the middle of the Cultural Revolution and I bet you that Frozen Food facilities didn't exist in those days in the town of the story. As technicians know a frozen food warehouse will last only a couple of years and these deep frozen chicken feed would have been replaced several times to new facilities. Very unlikely."

I saw the 40 year old meat story the last couple of days in various western papers. Funny that they all disappeared again after a few days. This papers must have realised that they were publishing bull shit.
