Perhaps I missed something, but why does everyone seem to think that only (or mostly) Americans are complaining about these things? If I am not mistaken, at least 2 apologists on this thread (and many of the most outspoken Chinese culture apologists on this site), including the OP, are American.
This is one of the things that has disappointed me the most about Kunming. The place is infested with wacko foreign Christian missionaries illegally proselytizing to the Chinese. Do other Chinese cities have this same problem? I find it disgusting and disheartening.
I heard that they do this every year but they notify the schools in advance... So, as with the enforcement of many laws in China, this too seems to be a farce.
