Forums > Living in Kunming > VPN:s still working?

Breaking news. Apple removes VPN Apps from China App Store.

Apple is siding with profits over ______. China is one of their biggest markets after all. AAPL stocks would tank if they disobeyed calls to censorship.

Looks like the Great Firewall is being refortified. The war on VPNs has begun.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming

Right now trending on Chinese social media in Kunming circles, locals are angry with the drowning of mother and child. They are angry that the civilized project has cost tax payers RMB 30 Billion yet their government can't even prevent streets from flooding because of subpar infrastructure.

If we want to be honest with each other. The "civilized" money could be better spent on drainage/sewage revamp. Kunming has been flooding for decades... and certainly susceptible to more flooding in the future.

Supposedly 北区 Northern Kunming has been flooded to the windshields of cars, as well as many parking basements in the city... today or tomorrow would be a disaster for the anticipated Beijing inspections.

@Ocean, now that's old school.

Kunming's ubiquitous Jiang Brothers' (江勇 & 江俊) "Qiaoxiangyuan" cross-bridge rice noodles restaurant chain origin and breakup saga deserves it's own featured article.

At an early age, the brothers began their enterprise after working in the Mengzi railway for two years.
