I don't think that has anything to do with the GFW. That is to do with the separate policy of people being encouraged to self censor.
Forums > Study > research in China It might help if you have a covering letter that frames your purpose/outcomes in a positive light. People may be afraid that your aim, or your outcome, is to show that the subjects are in some way dysfunctional.
This does not put a presupposition into your research, the letter is just to get your foot in the door. What you do afterwards can follow normal research protocols.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Does anyone know of English speaking carers Does anyone know of any English speaking carers. There is a wheelchair/bedbound old English man who needs care. His wife can just about cope during the day but needs some respite at night.
There have been a lot of problems with local carers as the gentleman cannot communicate his needs, and this is why an English speaking carer is needed.
Does anyone know of any English speaking carers in Kunming?
Forums > Living in Kunming > How to bring my pet dog to kunming It is also worth trying to find out what are the 30 banned breeds in Kunming. These are usually larger breeds, but I saw a poster in Kunming that did include Afghan hounds.
These rules are not strictly enforced when you are here, but coming through customs and quarantine, the rules may be.
Heavy rains wreak havoc around Yunnan
发布者Not sure if the question is serious, but here is a serious attempt at an answer.
In the last month or so we have had a lot of rain over a prolonger period, and it has helped a lot. But there has been a 4 year deficit of rainfall vs water use. This has depleted water stocks.
Water stocks consist of rivers and lakes, reservoirs, and most importantly ground water. To replenish the stocks there needs to be rain over a prolonged period. Long periods of consistent light rain are far better at replenishing water sources than heavy rain over short periods.
Shorter periods of heavy rain increase surface water. In urban areas, the concrete buildings and roads prevent the rain water from going into the ground and you get floods and most of this runs off into water courses.
In non-urban areas the surface water can run over the ground with only a small percentage actually soaking in. There is also run off to water courses, flash floods etc.
Water courses, including rivers and many shallow lakes don't really store the extra water, it just runs through.
Where there are deeper lakes and reservoirs water is stored, but this is only a small part of the water reserves.
It takes time for water to permeate the deep ground to replenish aquifers.
Not a perfect answer, I know.

发布者Visited one just over the border in Guizhou. The pans had not been flushed and there were piles of poop. There was a matong (a sitter shiter) but it was smashed, like have the bowl was gone and jagged edges. No seat (obviously) and it had been used. Build up of green gunk on the porcelain suggest a time lag since any real cleaning had been done.
I think the governer will be regretting his off hand remark, not realising it would go on record.
What ever happened to the 2 flies rule?
