That's what I think too, but these other guys are speaking about the accommodation registration from local police station as "residence permit", and that paper is something that every tourist should have too - even if staying in hotel, hotel staff does the registration on their behalf.
The residence registration from local police station is something that every random visitor should have, I doubt they mean that. It would mean tourists are eligible too.
Residence permit on other hand is what you get on your passport at Entry & Exit Administration in Tuodong Lu.
Nope, but same as someone else posted earlier, got them knocking on door and asking in person for same purpose.
For international SWIFT transfer the last time I sent EUR to China was January or so.
Already a while before that there was a change in regulations on Chinese side, that you have to clearly indicate the purpose of the transfer in the message field of the SWIFT transfer (for example "money for personal expenses"). Otherwise the money will get stuck in the Chinese bank and not go into your account until you go clear this in person.
For domestic transfers of small sums, at least I have option in WeChat to transfer money from WeChat wallet to the domestic bank that is linked to my WeChat account. There is a small fee and I assume some limit. But if it's not a large sum, and your only concern is to get the money to your Chinese bank, that would be my suggestion.
Probably they want it to be the medical part of employers' social insurance contribution, not a commercial insurance.
Curious why though - if it is about state paying for the vaccination, then I'd expect a "customer" paying instead (however much is needed) to be fine.
So I suspect it is about wanting to limit legal issues arising from possible rare side-effects or other accidents.

Letter from the editor: Kunming community spirit in times of Corona
Posted by"support the website by making an account, asking questions in the forum, leaving reviews and using the classifieds section to find a job, sell your stuff or rent an apartment."
This (or rather what is not included in that list of to-dos) sums the criticism that I personally have toward the whole ordeal, and how GoKunming (out of no choice I understand) had to respond to it with rest of the nation.

Ask questions and increase revenue, but feel free to avoid discussing and, heaven forbid, debating anything.
Editorial: Kunming 2020 biological diversity conference should be based on Paris Agreement
Posted byWouldn't you say a new kind of virus adds to biodiversity though? Also in relation to biodiversity, I suppose there is some poetic justice in the virus killing humans.

Posted byI'm not a big fan of croissants anyway, and donuts I have not found in either of the establishments you mentioned.
@Dolphin: "savouring the croissant helps to cultivate appreciation. ie appreciating simple things rather than always feeling discontent that you don't have enough"
Perhaps, but it equally helps to cultivate ignorance of all the labor that has been put into creating that experience for you. At least I would allow you to feel discontent on behalf all the people who don't have enough, whether they had part in creating the croissant or not.
I't shouldn't anymore be about what you have or don't have, but what the other 7.7 billion (minus 1) people have or don't have. That's where the musings of Buddha (as quoted above) go wrong in this day and age.

Posted byThere perhaps was a time, when embracing reality same way you would savour the croissant, could have been beneficial to achieving an enlightened state of mind.
But today, many would call such view on life quite the opposite of enlightened - it could be called ignorance or covering your eyes from all that is wrong. Perhaps that's suitable in Chinese context.
There, I connected the croissant to politics.
