Considering there's only a couple hundred or maybe even less of this car in Kunming, the chances aren't that bad in finding it back. It's not like they can ship it to Eastern Europe.
you're right in the notion it might not help much as most foreigners don't drive in KM. But if you happen to see one parked somewhere which has the described scratches and marking (or license plate), then please call the police and then me. PM takes too long.
Thanks for your help in keeping a look out :) The more eyes, the easier it is :)
This is a message going out to all people on here.
Any help at keeping a look out for our Van is highly appreciated.
Tonight at 12:40am (2014/01/06) our Van was stolen in the Guandu district. If it is still in the area, then it is most likely driven towards Chenggong University Town, Century City, or some area off Guangfu Lu.
Type: Black Van
Make: Jin-Bei
Model: extra long 9 seater
License plate: (Yunnan A) 905ZB
Year: 2013
(see sample images below)
Markings:
- missing right back wheelcap (all wheels have silver caps, but the steel wheel is jet-black)
- has a mirror outside above the back window for going backwards
- scratch: 1.6 meter long, 3-4cm wide along the entire bottom side of the right sliding door.
- small scratch on the bumper (front left corner)
- small scratch on the bumper (back left corner)
- missing spare tire at the back-bottom. Spare tire-support (metal bar) is hung up with a silver metal wire.
Although the police said they are likely to change the looks of the car, they may not re-paint the car or get rid of "useful" elements. They may remove the wheelcaps in order to make the missing wheel stand out less, but they'll still severely stand out as they are pitch-black.
Although this car is becoming more common, it's still a little rare and a VERY noticeable van as it's large, long, modern and not like the common grey mini-vans you see everywhere.
*Important notice: if you see a vehicle matching the description, do not personally engage any suspect(s). Criminals may be armed and dangerous. If you spot a car with this description, please call me on 18687150319 or call the police (a detailed report has been filed. Please mention the license plate number above for database-reference as the thieves are likely to change that first).
Any help is very much appreciated.
All the best and a happy 2014!
You're right about that. The cheaper the product the more toxins you're likely to find. (hence why they had a problem some years back with 2 million baby and children toys that were painted with lead-based paint)
However, with our own production of TCM and active components of "new" medicines I can say there are those (including us) who aim to raise the bar to the very top and produce our crops as sustainably / environmentally conscious and/or organic if possible :)
Several of those include the cancer fighting active components that article refers to.
PS: I have friends who worked in various sectors of the food industry. And they said: "if you know how they produce food in Euope / America, you'll never go to the supermarket again" :)
Yes, there are very effective treatments for cancer via TCM.
Some are already used in western medicine, but they use often less potent varieties.
However, "inhibit" does not mean "cure". Those are two very distinct and different things.
It means it stops its growth or makes them not active anymore. But to cure (get rid of them all together) may often need additional treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation, etc.)
Last thing you want to do is make them dormant and then have them suddenly pop up again.
The moment something is registered as UNESCO, the place is leached. UNESCO and government both take part of the pot. Never expected to pay $16 to see a ruin that wasn't even maintained with unsafe pathways (not Lijang). UNESCO, just like UNICEF are UN progams, so just do the math. 49.9% for one, 49.9% for the other, 0.1% for the safety-ribbon, and 0.1% for the water-based paint.
This article needs a serious correction. Wanda is owned by the Chinese government, run semi-privately and invested in by shareholders, investment groups and also the government.
Wang Jianlin is rich and he is the chairman. He is not the owner and it's not "his empire".
Hear hear. It's indeed a nice thing for food and food supplements.

Expensive, but probably one of the best places in this whole province to find genuine top brands (Prada, Gucci, etc.) for outlet prices.
Their jewelry sections in the basement is also very large but I would never touch any jewelry in China.
Unbeatable priced. Seriously!
Prices start from 25 yuan p/p when you have a member card (deposit money on it).
The theaters are very good and they also show movies in 3D.
They always have the latest movies. Actually, they show most foreign movies in their native language which is awesome as I don't understand much Chinese yet.
Chinese movies are frequently shown with English subtitles.
Just make always sure and ask before attending a show what the language and subtitles are, but I guess that's a given in China :)
Personally this is one of my favorite halal restaurants in Kunming. ^_^
Known well among the upper class of Kunming, it is very classy and is very good for quality business lunches and dinners. Having been here many times, this restaurant truly never lets you down. It's a little more pricey (-or a lot more pricey than your average noodle and rice restaurant), but the staff is very well trained and the food is exquisite and above all safe (they don't serve pork). (this is an absolute pre- when having business dinners as you don't want your guests to become sick).
My favorite dishes:
Steamed whole fish (predator type) in light soy-sauce.
Ground beef and ground peanuts over baked eggplant.
The seafood ice platter (salmon, scallop and snail) is very delicate and good for making a quality impression.
This is one of South Kunming's largest farmers markets. Originally named "seafood market" for its focus on fish, shellfish and other seafood, it now contains a large vegetable, fruit, meat, bakery and dried food selection.
New Asia Athletics Park (Guandu District) is one of the most well thought-out developments of the city. As part of the de-urbanization plan, it accommodates the new government and trade districts of the city.
It is also one of the most child-friendly districts of Kunming.
Located next to the Guandu Ancient Town, New Asia Athletics Park boasts a hospital, dozens of playgrounds in car-free zones and parks, a quality hotel, a stadium with various sport facilities including badminton, ping-pong, basketball and football (there are more facilities).
In addition it has one of Kunming's top Halal restaurants with truly exquisite food and many other options for fine dining, a very good value cinema (who offers a card system allowing you to get tickets for about half price). They always have the latest movies (also available in English or with English subtitles).
It is next to the new Metro line (which already runs here), with easy access to the flower market and Chenggong University town. Carrefour Supermarket, Luosiwan International Trade City and the lake.
There is also a direct freeway to Kunming airport making it a very convenient location.
Planned for opening in 2014 / 2015 there is also the New Kunming Theater and a new Kunming / Yunnan museum.
