Forums > Living in Kunming > What if China became the only superpower

Very few countries can only take care of themselves, because they are dependent on imports and exports (of raw materials, goods and services) from other countries.

It is in these countries interest that other countries around the world are stable and trustworthy to provide these things, and the infrastructure to go with it.

Then there are some people who believe that certain things are just right things to do, even if there isn't any obvious measurable benefit for it.

For a long time China above any other country was dependent on its exports, and it might still be a backward nation (also economically) without that role.

Without its exports, China may also be cleaner and greener country, but maybe the lack of employment opportunities for millions of people would have caused enough social instability to overthrow the government. Or a tighter noose akin to DPRK.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Social renting of things - what do you think?

Probably not a big deal in practice, but letter of law would probably prevent most foreigners from doing this kind of renting business (however small) legally in China without proper permits.

After all, it would be income derived from and within China.

Since 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.

The 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.

@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.
