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.
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.
@sezuwupom : "JanJal is living the good life [...] Igor's delivers to your door."
You forgot to mention that I recycle and care for environment, which is why I would prefer to pick up my bakeries on my way rather than have someone on scooter deliver it wrapped in plastics. Even if it would leave the plastic maker and the scooter driver jobless. They could find new jobs in Just Hot, which I keep in business.
But I wish best of luck to Igor's. If location is everything, they have some catching up to do to reach out to potential customers like they are doing in this paid review..
Went here one morning after grocery shopping in nearby Walmart.
No surprise, shelves were less than half-empty like they are in all upper scale bakeries I've visited in Kunming, specifically in the mornings before lunch.
They all seem to get stocked up few hours after lunch time, which for me is too late because I like to consume my sweets at home(=office) couple of hours after lunch, without making a separate trip for it.
Thus my staple bakeries remain from big and soulless chains like Just Hot, that have their donuts ready before 11am.
They also say time is a healer, and it takes time to grow. While time does get peope killed, it also helps greatly in reproduction. Without time, we would not have gotten where we are now - nor would we get to develop into extradimensional beings bound by neither space nor time, if we ban it now.
What I propose, is that we do not ban time, but instead develop ourselves beyond time, so that we no longer depend on it, and becomes indifferent to us.
On a related but more serious note, should humanity also develop beoynd organic in our feeding patterns?
For most people, things like "organic" or "free range" has already developed past hunting wild game and gathering roots and berries. For the minority that still practises such, our current methods to grow our food must appear as strange as eating protein grown in reactors would sound to many of us.
A store we frequent for vegetables and meat is Q+Life in B1 level of TKP Shopping Mall (Beijing Lu / Baiyun Lu). My wife has bought for their green advertising, I cannot vouch either way but I'm satisfied with the quality.
Well, we are having minor thunderstorm right now. Earlier in the week my phone's weather forecast showed daily rain drops in Kunming from end of this week til end of eternity, Or was it just the two weeks ahead it can show.

What does organic mean in China?
