Besides cache, I think some mobile apps sniff the SIM card and phone number your phone is using (sometime they have to ask permission to do so), and could link that with your old information in their cloud. In such cases clearing all data in your phone will not help.

Another example of this is how TikTok, the foreign market version of Douyin, fails to install if the phone is using Chinese SIM.

Related to these developments specifically about banning English tutoring, I'm already rejoicing here over our "natively" bilingual 4 year old's future academic and job opportunities compared to his peers.

In our residential area up north there are small public playgrounds that have outdoor ping pong tables with no restrictions. I'm sure there are others around the city, if such would suffice.

Oh, you are right it does mention preschool.

"What are the changes? [...] They [the reforms] concentrate on education in core subjects, or compulsory education, which refers to grades K-9, covering the ages of approximately 6-15 years."

"Other notable measures [...] On this note, tutoring centers cannot hold offline or online training for preschool students, including foreign language education".

The text is really not clear about that point. Schengen visa does indeed allow you to travel freely within the Schengen area, but entering the Schengen area is not that simple.

Generally you are required to apply for visa via the consulate of country of entry to Schengen area. If you fly from Kunming to Paris, you may have to apply Schengen visa from French consulate - Czech or other countries' consulates may refuse the application.

Flight ticket reservations (round-trip China-Europe-China) are usually required, so they see what your entry point is. In above example, Czech immigration probably does not want to take responsibility if you fly to France and then decide to stay there as illegal immigrant.

But if your flight ticket allows cancellation and changing the point of entry after you get the visa, you are probably fine. Though I would not be surprised if there are questions on arrival passport check.

Has a foreigner team ever participated in the race in Kunming? What would it take to get one started for coming years?
