Forums > Living in Kunming > Registering foreigners' religious activities
Beside the obvious targets, I'm wondering if "social organizations" also include every random sports and/or drinking clubs that no doubt lot of foreigners are involved in.

FYI, our company received a notice in Friday to submit information about social and religious activities that our foreign staff (= me) may be participating in.
Google translation:
"According to the notice on the strict implementation of the 22 ministries and commissions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and state agencies, the "Notice on Eliminating the Breeding Soil of Illegal Social Organizations and Purifying the Ecological Space of Social Organizations" and the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Regulations on the Management of Foreign Religious Activities in the People's Republic of China"!
All units are requested to conduct a registration investigation on whether the foreigners they hired participate in social organizations and religious activities in China, fill in the Annex 3: Situation Investigation Form, and affix the official seal and submit it to the disk before 17:00 on May 25, 2021"
Another 6.0 in Dali, must've been what we felt.
Our house (41st floor currently) was shaking again today, at about 21:50 local time. There had been couple of quakes (5.3 according to USGS) near Dali earlier today.
When the census people came to our apartment, they ignored me completely, and only registered my wife, our son, and the grandmother. They didn't ask for my passport, name, or anything.
Therefore I think they got the data for foreigners (legal residents at least) readily from other systems, and only check the accuracy of that information on some occasions like Tiger described.
No results found.

Kunming one of best cities to live in China
发布者CoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.
For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.
If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.
Kunming one of best cities to live in China
发布者"Survey of Economic Life in China"
If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.
If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.
There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.
It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.
Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?
New strict dog regulations in 36 Kunming areas
发布者"Dogs raised outside the key management areas may not be brought in."
Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?
Announcing the new website Destination Lijiang
发布者I'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.
So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?
