Forums > Living in Kunming > Child permit

Well all Chinese need a permit to make baby in China, all of that population control. One-child policy and all that.

You're saying your wife had a baby 1 year ago without birth permit, or is she expecting now?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Child permit

Me (foreigner) and my wife (Chinese) are planning to have a baby.

We will need the child permit (it will be her first), and I have a couple of questions about that:

1. She does not have Kunming hukou. Does she have to go back to her hometown to get it or can she get it in Kunming?

2. Do I also need to provide some certificate of not having children already?

Recent experience from Kunming (or elsewhere in China) preferred.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > SIM-Card for Tourist

I got China Mobile SIM card with no questions or papers asked when I moved here in 2013 and I'm still using it.

Of course now they periodically send SMS and suggest registering my identity.

So has anyone been able to do that with foreign passport? Not that I plan to unless absolutely required.

Exact time difference is 15 hours, so Las Vegas 8pm is 11:00 China time.

Is 8pm the starting time for this specific match or the fight night as whole?

If the match is at 8pm, then CCTV 12:00 broadcast would start 1h30m later, so it could be delayed broadcast?

CoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.

For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.

If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.

"Survey of Economic Life in China"

If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.

If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.

There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.

It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.

Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?

"Dogs raised outside the key management areas may not be brought in."

Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?

I'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.

So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?
