@michael2015: " US State Dept refused to authenticate my children's birth certificates, which they issued"
Just curious why they would have needed to authenticate documents that they issued themselves to begin with?
Or was it about them not going the extra mile of having the said documents authenticated in Chinese consulate in USA?

@AlPage48: "For the marriage certificate authentication we're out of luck"
It's not just you out luck, it's same for all nationals. The initial info from PSB about the authentication was wrong or misunderstood.
Authenticating foreign documents to be used in China is a multi-step process in which a foreign consulate in China has no role.
Their boss, I assume in case of USA the Department of State and related office in USA, however has a role. They need to authenticate a document before it can be authenticated by Chinese consulate in USA.
For documents to be used in China, the final stop is always the Chinese consulate in the country where the document originates from.
Similarly if you want a Chinese document to be legit in USA, the final step is US consulate in China.
That said, some consulates or other service providers may provide service where they will send the relevant document abroad for said processing. I don't know any that do, and at this particular time courier options may be even more limited.

Public Notice: A message from the Kunming Public Security Bureau
Posted bySince this website serves foreigners (and locals) not just in Kunming but wider in Yunnan province, I wonder if something to reflect that could be arranged in regards of this PSB cooperation.
At least my personal observations of matters related to organized crime is not so much in Kunming, but outside it.
Film Premiere: Check out our travel series Yunnan: The China You Never Knew!
Posted byThe first episode left a bit hasty picture. in my opinion in line with what Kunming is - a crossroads city to spend a day, max two, on way to other tourist sites in the province..
Personally I would have liked seeing more in depth stuff, not just the 2-3 highlights available on any travel guide.
But probably cannot do much more in few minutes show, and also why I don't epect much more from the coming episodes.
Kunming spearheading provincial "toilet revolution" 2.0
Posted by@vicar: "I know how to keep toilets clean"
In most public toilets in city (and beyond) that I have seen, they have a cleaning person stationed on the premises. I don't know know if they even go home for nights.
In many countries that alone would be considered a huge investment, but obviously not in China.

Posted byI wonder if it will be possible to check the "real-time concentrations of nitrogen, ammonia and PM2.5" inside a stall before and after your own visit.
