Probably for the best, that? I mean they'd keep to themselves instead of go around displaying and spreading it further.

@l4dybug: "dare say that directly to their "puny" faces?"
Well, what do we say to the God of Death?
The marital typhoon may not be so noticeable in countries where both the divorce rates and the societal acceptance of divorces is at another level than in China, and has been for a while. Nothing to add to those by a puny virus.
@l4dybug: "Apparently divorce registrations surged"
It would be interesting to delve deeper into those figures, but I can continue on my theory anyway.
Could it be that many of those divorcing couples either already had children, or were unhappy of their present spouse to have one with (or at all)?
I can imagine that having both parents (and possibly grands also) at home, could raise debates about child rearing when neither parent has obligations outside home to justify not taking part in such at home - or observing any other realities of stayhome parenthood.
Either way, I'd expect these divorcees to move on, and (at least one of the former couple) soon enough find a more ideal candidate to make offspring with.
I recognize that in the hypothetical situation that I was to divorce, a likely candidate (knowing myself) for new relationship would come with expectation to have a child with - while otherwise a second child is not something we are planning.
So yeah, divorces could have been expected, but it doesn't necessarily mean less children in the big picture.
I fail to even see what this new draft proposes to change.
"Foreigners with internationally acknowledged achievements"
"Foreigners who have made outstanding contributions"
"Talented foreigners in urgent demand"
"foreigners whose investment in China is at least 10 million"
"spouses of Chinese citizens"
All this sounds the same as before.
Which, in my mind, raises suspicion that this is just a show to give the public a chance to voice their opinions in things that don't even matter, as opposed to allowing it in politically sensitive issues that would matter.
Rings a bell with some government-authorized street protests against building chemical plants in middle of Chinese cities. Smoke and mirrors.

Video: Zen and the art of patisserie with chef Igor Nataf
Posted by@sezuwupom : "JanJal is living the good life [...] Igor's delivers to your door."
You forgot to mention that I recycle and care for environment, which is why I would prefer to pick up my bakeries on my way rather than have someone on scooter deliver it wrapped in plastics. Even if it would leave the plastic maker and the scooter driver jobless. They could find new jobs in Just Hot, which I keep in business.
But I wish best of luck to Igor's. If location is everything, they have some catching up to do to reach out to potential customers like they are doing in this paid review..

Posted byWent here one morning after grocery shopping in nearby Walmart.
No surprise, shelves were less than half-empty like they are in all upper scale bakeries I've visited in Kunming, specifically in the mornings before lunch.
They all seem to get stocked up few hours after lunch time, which for me is too late because I like to consume my sweets at home(=office) couple of hours after lunch, without making a separate trip for it.
Thus my staple bakeries remain from big and soulless chains like Just Hot, that have their donuts ready before 11am.
What does organic mean in China?
Posted byThey also say time is a healer, and it takes time to grow. While time does get peope killed, it also helps greatly in reproduction. Without time, we would not have gotten where we are now - nor would we get to develop into extradimensional beings bound by neither space nor time, if we ban it now.
What I propose, is that we do not ban time, but instead develop ourselves beyond time, so that we no longer depend on it, and becomes indifferent to us.
On a related but more serious note, should humanity also develop beoynd organic in our feeding patterns?
For most people, things like "organic" or "free range" has already developed past hunting wild game and gathering roots and berries. For the minority that still practises such, our current methods to grow our food must appear as strange as eating protein grown in reactors would sound to many of us.

Posted byA store we frequent for vegetables and meat is Q+Life in B1 level of TKP Shopping Mall (Beijing Lu / Baiyun Lu). My wife has bought for their green advertising, I cannot vouch either way but I'm satisfied with the quality.
