Forums > Living in Kunming > expats paying taxes....

I'd bet that local governments across China have been advised to start enforcing and bringing in all tax income that they are legally entitled to. Sooner rather than later, and I expect this to increase costs to both foreigners and locals.

Beside financial foes that local governments face, I'd connect this to forthcoming large-scale launch of e-RMB, and how that will enable the authorities to track transactions more efficiently.

Would be bad PR for the powers that be, if they at that time "discover" that pretty much nobody has been paying taxes that they should.

Is this in addition to regular income tax that they are supposed to pay? Based on my experience many have wanted to avoid that, and have provided fapiao for the rent payments only against extra fee.

Not sure if there is newer thread, but I'll use this. This is mostly a language question though.

Rye flour.

Like few times before, I asked the other half to purchase some on internet.

Delivery came, and now that I got to baking I checked the bags and can't figure out if this is really rye flour, or black wheat flour. I believe previously we have used products that had English label, but this only has Chinese.

Best that I can figure out, is that the Chinese characters are 黑麦 (hēi mài) for both "rye" and "black wheat", although these are different species of plant.

So, is there a better Chinese translation specifically for rye?

I'm going to try bake anyway and see if it turns out right.

I guess at least every foreign supermarket chain has those in their Christmas shelves. Try Walmart, Metro, or Carrefour.

@lemon lover:

Yes, these articles that I saw on the topic didn't mention of shortages within China, but outside of it, in the countries where China normally would import from.

This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.

Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.

Not sure if this applies to Italy visas, but for many other European countries:

The Joint Visa Application Center that used to be in Beichen, is now relocated to an office building at intersection of .Shibo Road and Bojin Avenue.

I'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.

@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"

Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.

I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

There perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.

But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.

There, I connected the croissant to politics.
