I remember about 10 years ago, in the morning you could see traditional wooden sailboats on Erhai that I presume were being used by the locals for fishing. I'm not sure if they're still around, because I think there is some kind of fishing ban in effect. At least, I haven't noticed the boats for some time.

Every time I travel by car or train through Dali or Lijiang, I see countless plumes of smoke coming off the farmer's fields. If I had to guess, I'd say pretty damn common.

Burning your fields can put you in prison in East China. Why the hell does Yunnan allow it? It doesn't seem too smart to sabotage one of the main drivers of your GDP.

I found some answers. Just use this:

There are many TP link models on the list.

I don't have any concrete evidence, but I feel that the Chinese ISPs might be doing something to cripple performance and reliability non compliant routers. At least, my POS free "Mercusys" brand router seems a hell of a lot more stable than my WRT-54Gs.
