I have lived in many chinese cities over the past 2 years. I am now a full-time resident of Kunming living close to the NE wal-mart on Beijing Lu. I have lived in one of the safest cities in the usa most of my life but i still have always felt safer here. I am a guest in this country so i keep my mouth shut, and have found that a smile is almost always received by a warm return smile. Regarding hatred in the USA we have street gangs, road rage, hate groups all over the place, the Klu Klux Klan, Traveling in canada many years ago i remember a great deal of hatred between the French Canadians and the rest of canada, and the UK had the IRA. Let us remember that with the Olympics in the UK this year the security was at an all time high. My deceased uncles who fought the japanese in the south pacific and had comrades spend part of war in japanese prison camps could never forgive the japanese. Please let us all be careful with the opinions we express so we can continue to live in this wonderful country.
Spring City looks to embrace sweeping green agenda

Kunming cracking down on 'uncivilized' behavior...again
Posted byWhat a joke, maybe someone should tell police about this crack down. For the last several weeks going north on 3rd ring road just past Bejing road the vendors have had all but 1 lane filled at the intersection during the evening. Bicycle lanes and even more often 1-2 traffic lanes are being used for parking. Getting more dangerous riding my bicycle every day.
