Like the USA, China is a Big country. Fortunately, I live in Yunnan where the air is relatively clean, not in Beijing.

Most (80%) of the expats who live in China are older (age 50) and NOT here for the money. It is my opinion that they come to China where they can live more comfortably then in the USA. I know many over 65 who live off social security in China without working. This can NEVER be done in the USA. Go to any McDonalds in the USA and you will see many retirees working because their Social Security is not enough.
Another reason expats come to China is to get away from the Toxic (GMO) foods which the FDA claims is NOT harmful. Nothing like a raid on organic farms and labeling them as terrorists or taking them to court because GMO crops blew into their farms so now they are guilty of IPR violations.
As for traffic, I lived in Orange county in California and there is no worse traffic then I-5 on any given day.
As for Human Rights, look at what the USA does to protestors and the thousands of people who are incarcerated without trials and labeled as terrorists. Recently, a former Marine was put in a Psych ward for a comment he put on facebook that was claimed to be threatening, yet news anchors openly say on camera that Julian Assange should be assasinated.
Yes, China has one party, but the govt is NOT trying to cull the population or imprison them. As for the USA, between chemtrails, GMO foods, mandatory vaccines, and the highest rate of incarceration and the medical mafia who does not allow alternative medicine, the 2 party system is much worse. This is why many alternative Medicine Hospitals are now located on the border of Tijuana, Mexico. I wonder why Ron Paul can NOT get into a debate. 2 Parties? Obama and Romney - I dont think that is 2 parties.
As for free press, when 5 billionaires own all the press and only print what they want, I do NOT see this as Free Press. Especially now that many alternative media sites are being shut down. Case and point - Press TV has been shut down because it does not march to the beat of the NWO drums.
I think these are the REAL reasons why China is quickly becoming a haven for expats who have awakened and want to get out of Police State USA.
I understand paying to learn a foreign language (Chinese) when you do NOT live in that country (China). But I do NOT understand why anyone would pay money to learn a language that everyone around already speaks. So many people here are looking for langauge exchange and it is free. It is also a means to meet others and network and learn about others and their views on life.
Go to english corner and advertise yourself. You will find many other foreigners who do the same and I understand how people will be offended when you do this.
Do you think all readers of this post know where Songmin or Xundian is? Do you think the reader will be satisfied with your reply? Especially when you are mostly talking about teaching english and NOt really Wwoofing.

Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者What a catastrophe! Recently visited Nanning, Guangxi which also has a bike program. All the bikes are uniform in color (Orange) and there is 1 type of payment method. They are neatly placed in bike racks all over the city. They come in clusters of 20 and they are found at every subway station in groups of 20, 40, and 60 depending on location. There are cameras mounted on either side of the bike racks for safety and supervision. People can easily find the bike racks and use the bikes and return them to conveniently located bike racks in other parts of the city.
Kunming has 3 types of bikes and 3 types of payment. There are very few bike racks so there are no central locations to get a bike if you need them. I live at the edge of the city in a village and there are bikes scattered everywhere. The people here use them, drive them home and park the bike it in front of their door where no one else can use them. They now have their own private bikes that they can use and abuse and when it gets destroyed they just go get another one. The bike sits idle all day until that person (Temporary owner) is ready to use it again. Kunming should learn from the many other cities that use bikes and create a system that serves all. I am sure the companies who operate these bikes will lose a lot of money from this program.
Celebrating a Miao Christmas in Yunnan
发布者I enjoy reading the articles on this site but what really drives me nuts is when the article does not clearly state where this place is located - a basic essential in writing - missing.
Village name is great - how about a county and a prefecture along with that.
Very annoying and NOT the first time.
Fuxian shampoo incident becomes national topic
发布者1 - Once the image was published on Chinese social media the firestorm began, and continues unabated nearly two weeks later.
2 - although some more vocal microbloggers have called for a police investigation and arrests.
I can teach reading and comprehension for a small fee.
