There is soccer club Kunming Football Club, which has many foreigners. Not sure where the latest thread is, but for example here is some old contact info:

And I believe the skating rink at Hongta sports center has reopened and ice hockey continues there. Older thread is here:
Peter99: I posted that article. It only contained government's denial of ordering telecom companies to shut down VPN traffic (whether possible or not).
Further information from government indicates that authorized VPN providers can continue to offer VPN services, but nobody seems to know if such providers even exist.
Additionally foreign businesses have been instructed to lease lines of their own to connect freely to their HQs abroad, but that would mostly just cover needs of large multinationals.
Personaly I think that a likely development (as far as general public and Chinese industry is concerned), is that there will will be some "VPN" providers but the VPN coverage will not be from end user to abroad.
Rather the traffic will be encrypted from end user to the provider in China, where it will be fully decrypted to record traffic or otherwise implement government requirements (including blocking some data), and then from there on to overseas VPN server it will be normal VPN again.
Redjonn: I would hope so, but TIC.
I remember a few years ago somewhere in China there was a case of police violence (or was it chengguang, I forget), and the explanation afterwards was that those were temporary substitutes, not the real police. And even the Chinese public was questioning where the real officials were then.
"as part of punishment he had to take care of traffic for three hours"
This actually sounds dangerous - putting a random guy who himself is out with offenses to take care of traffic.
Imagine if there is a crash on his watch - who's to blame?
I think the flooding 4(?) years ago was worse than we had recently - but perhaps the infrastructure to accommodate all that water was even worse back then.

Invasive 'armyworm' threatening corn production in Yunnan, SE Asia
发布者In my wife's hometown - and I assume many small-scale farms elsewhere - corn from the farmers' own fields is the main feed for pigs, trade of which has already been impacted by african swine fever.
Public Notice: A message from the Kunming Public Security Bureau
发布者Since this website serves foreigners (and locals) not just in Kunming but wider in Yunnan province, I wonder if something to reflect that could be arranged in regards of this PSB cooperation.
At least my personal observations of matters related to organized crime is not so much in Kunming, but outside it.
Film Premiere: Check out our travel series Yunnan: The China You Never Knew!
发布者The first episode left a bit hasty picture. in my opinion in line with what Kunming is - a crossroads city to spend a day, max two, on way to other tourist sites in the province..
Personally I would have liked seeing more in depth stuff, not just the 2-3 highlights available on any travel guide.
But probably cannot do much more in few minutes show, and also why I don't epect much more from the coming episodes.
Kunming spearheading provincial "toilet revolution" 2.0
发布者@vicar: "I know how to keep toilets clean"
In most public toilets in city (and beyond) that I have seen, they have a cleaning person stationed on the premises. I don't know know if they even go home for nights.
In many countries that alone would be considered a huge investment, but obviously not in China.
Kunming spearheading provincial "toilet revolution" 2.0
发布者I wonder if it will be possible to check the "real-time concentrations of nitrogen, ammonia and PM2.5" inside a stall before and after your own visit.
