Sounds like the Voting laws of Old where you had to prove ownership of property to vote. Now you must prove ownership so you can return to your country of origin with your wife.
I guess only USA marriage contracts are legitimate. All others are NOT. The world according to USA - wonderful!
Very soon, everyone in the entire planet will have to get married through the United Nations so that all marriages can be valid. I love Control.
79 - Peace of Mind and low stress - the comparisons I make are based on what I have seen with my own eyes and NOT what I have heard from a friend of a friend. I traveled to Canada and Mexico many times but I am NOT qualified to make true comparisons. I lived in Japan for 3 years and still I am not qualified to make any true comparisons. However, after 9 years in China I can begin to make some comparisons. USA is a treadmill of stress from every angle of life.
tallamerican, If I may I would like to ask you a personal question. is it your intention to return to the USA after you wife retires? I ask this question because of my previous comment regarding - What is an Expat?
A student lives here for 1 year or less - I certainly do not consider them expats as they are here temporarily because they go right back home as soon as they are done. If this is the case, then a tourist will also be considered an expat.
True, there are some married with 5 children living here long term and they are younger then 50. They constitute the 20%.
True, there are many people here on business but they go back and forth to the motherland. They are usually aged 35-50. Again, they live here for their business and still maintain a home in their motherland
So I guess we need to define EXPAT - A person living in a country that is NOT their own.
Life in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.
Everyone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
There are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

Heijing offers the same.
