At least my (foreign) insurance provider provides a "second opinion" service, which might be useful in some cases that don't necessarily require seeing in person.
In any case, if one has such insurance, might be worth to check what is their policy about vaccinating under special circumstances (such as heart conditions), or with the Chinese jab overall. In case there are complications, and you hope to be covered by the insurance.

In some countries the education for police officers is not much more than education of chengguan in China.
It is also that elsewhere it is the responsibility of said police to do what is outsourced to chengguan in China, and for comparative figures one could get more realistic picture by seeking sources with that keyword.
Or do you mean specifically getting this kind of card from a Chinese bank?
If you are foreigner in China, you don't already have any bank account in your home country?
Maybe this was mentioned somewhere else, but couldn't find.
Yesterday when we were going to subway, the guard asked as to read a new QR code - which didn't have English option as far as I could quickly see, so he let us pass without.
I took a photo and registered my phone number with it later, but don't know if that's all there is to it.
The new code is with green "up arrow" icon.

China's upscaling of potato production sprouts controversy
Posted bySpeaking of potato, what's the favorite kind of street food potato you people have had in Kunming?
There is a strip along Beijing Lu about half-way between Baiyun Lu and North Railway Station, where there are several small eateries (and one big hot pot restaurant) on the west side of road.
One of those small shops sells potato slices which are apparently first cooked in oil, and then finished in another round of oil before being mixed with chili and some other spices.
You can probably find same kind of potato elsewhere in Kunming, at least there is sign outside which has contact number for franchising.
Very delicious, this has become my favorite potato dish in Kunming.
Update: Officials fired after school stampede kills six
Posted byYeah by "those who have a choice" I was referring to people who could pack up their family and leave the city or even the country if must. Should such people want to report about apparent corruption (would have to be first hand experience I guess) in education system, where would they do it in Kunming?

Posted byHow would one go against this? Where to complain formally and how?
I understand that for many there isn't much choice, but what about those who have?
Xuning Temple, Kunming's mountaintop sanctuary
Posted byThat restoration project sounds nice. Without knowing the details, it would be an interesting opportunity for the foreign community to do some volunteering, if it ever takes such form where it might be applicable.
