Yep, it's a new one:

There's actually two shopping centers across from each another under construction. Potential Line 5 metro station beneath in the works.

I was recently eating hotpot nearby. Aegean's grand opening is supposedly in 2-3 months, but a different section where Hema Supermarket situates is opening earlier... tomorrow.

For those who wish to witness the grand opening of 'smart retail' Hema supermarket by Alibaba. The first flagship store opens in Kunming tomorrow at Aegean Shopping Mall. Intersection of Baiyun Road and Bailong Road.

If I'm not mistaken, it's near your vicinity JanJal. Go check it out to see produce flying over your head on conveyor belts or critique how much plastic packaging they're using!

Geezer, that report is nearly a decade old. I'm curious how environmental policy changes have bucked this trend, given the changing of guards in both China and the USA. The polar opposite role reversals of environmentally conscious Presidents of respective nations.

JanJal, it comes down to picking your poisons....

Incineration w/o sorting create microplastic compounds that evaporate into the sky, condense into clouds, and rain microplastic debris into oceans en route breaching ecosystem circulation. To say nothing of direct inhalation of toxic air.

Speaking of which, recent protests in Wuhan over landfill trash incinerator plants have actually panned out for 'NIMBY' (Not In My Backyard) locals.

Wuhan officials decided to stall proposed incineration, but also blamed HK protestors for setting bad examples for mainland citizens.

Civility in this context may be subjective to relativity, like time itself.

My real concern is, who the hell is habitually dumping large scale trash into the oceans??

Still would be sought after considering 1/3 of global shipping passes through that contested territory, not to mention massive untapped natural resources below.
