Actually, being married to a Chinese national, will still require you to renew the visa every six months. But that's better than 30 days. Not that I recomend it.
It seems, to me, a bit odd that your Kunming company is registered in Beijing. The intense bureaucratic red tape from the officials at the Business Registration place will not be an easy route. Perhaps the Beijing registration is a national registration, that I'm unfamiliar with. That's China, as they say!
I'm sure someone else will provide a good answer - good luck.
I can't add to this story, but reading the phrase by TheSwedishGuy, "Kinda wonder who is behind these bombings by now ..." causes me to repeat a question: Is anyone surprised?
Access to print and Internet media information with PRC sources and published outside the PRC indicates to me that there is huge unrest in the countryside (even in Hong Kong, to a slightly lesser extent). Of course, the Olympics is making protestors more courageous, but they'll still be there post-olympics.
There are Tibetans, Mongolians, farmers who have had their land stolen (to say confisgate, simply legitimises it), etc., in Kunming. Please don't be surprised.
Export license not required for used personal goods. I'm assured that you simply need the Bill of Lading which they will e-mail to you once it has been authorised in Guangdong.
Air-Sea Transport Inc. can pack for you or will supply anything needed to help you pack yourself. My shipment is now on the train to Guangdong and they did a good job of the packing.
Ground transportation costs are a concern because (I think) that they don't have close contacts with offices throughout the world and, thus, prefer that you take responsibility for that. I don't know how big your shipment is but 'thousands' of dollars for the land transport sounds high to me.
Bonded warehousing and transport. In my case, although Vancouver is the Port of Entry, bonded transport is used to my city of Toronto where their bonded warehouse permits checking by Customs -- most cities throughout the world have bonded warehouses. It'll take ages for your shipment to be checked in L.A., which is why I believe that it'll go to Raleigh (or nearest) Customs.
My payment is for shipment to Toronto -- this is my prefered method as I don't have a delivery address right now.
It is not surprising that access to the video and Li's cellmates was not permitted -- that's China. It is easier to demote or fire a prison officer because there are thousands of applicants to fill the positions. Anyway, we know that demoted government officials are re-instated after approximately six months.
Our main concern, now, should be to ensure that adequate compensation be paid to the family.
I have no confidence about a just conclusion to this matter, and I'm not sure if Harvey Chen is being cynical or humorous but I do hope that Chris continues to follow this story (and I'm sure that he will) because it smells of strong fish. Oops, we've lost the video ... and the copy. Mmm, sorry for my cynicism.
Spelunker, with respect, it isn't very wise to make fun of these groups -- they're not children. I.M.H.O. this country has been asking for this kind of activity for some time. Have you talked to anyone (brain-washed Chinese excluded) who were surprised?
I guess that it's an interesting exercise (Googling the maps) but are people really expecting to view a recording from one of the many video cameras in the area?
I should like to learn more about the two farmers killed, and 41 injured police, in Menglian on Saturday, which is becoming an even wider problem.
Finally, is anyone surprised by all this?
Hello Dima; Many will welcome your arrival as the new manager. I hope that you will provide the cook with some assistance during peak hours. Some will be unhappy with the three-week closure, but you might tell them to visit Dan Di Cafe for a similar menu, if only temporarily.
Hey 'bucko', you must be fair, this restaurant is better than any place on Wen Lin Jie which you rated higher. Expensive? Try Green Lake Hotel. Small portions? Try Mazagran. It's all relative.
Although this is one of my favourite restaurants in Kunming, I find it necessary to warn the management that having a fourth floor extension has taken things one step too far (actually, about 70 steps!).
In my opinion, by extending the business, both the hard working kitchen and waiting staff are unable to maintain the original food quality and level of service.
A recent visit presented us with a luke warm fruit/mutton curry that comprised many pieces of fat and gristle, and a half tandoori chicken that had two legs (?) and not much else -- this dish would satisfy three people last year.

Solar-powered trip around the world stops in Kunming
