Forums > Living in Kunming > owners association?

In newer developments where there are still unsold apartments (even if just some), management companies (often associated with the developer such as Junfa) are more eager to at least maintain the value and attractiveness of the property. This means taking care of common spaces, playgrounds etc that may be on the property.

Families who one way or another have ended up owning multiple apartments in these developments and are renting or hoping to increase value of their extra ones, have same motivation.

Because these are usually high-rise buildings, if there are serious issues (like every floor flooding in the above post), you don't need many such cases to send both the developer and the management company the way of Evergrande.

If I were running such company, I would urge the residents to report any problems before they get worse. From what I have seen living only in these places, is that they can be quite cooperative. But the situation would be very different in older buildings.

Alright, good to know it's not just me.

Sounds like it's only matter of time until either AliPay starts enforcing this as well, or Tencent drops it too.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Receiving WeChat payment

We are nowhere near 200k annually, and the problem is with my WeChat accepting the payment that my wife sent - so it's not about quota out of her bank account either.

We didn't have this problem last month, so either some regulatory implementations changed, or our regular transfers (< 30k annual to date) got somehow flagged in system to trigger this.

I ask her to do it as direct bank transfer instead of WeChat.

I think my problem relates specifically to receiving payments (something related to money laundering regulations). I can send money and make payments without problems.

@alienew: "The workers should hold them liable with brickbats."

Well, that would set a dangerous precedent, which would only result in only tighter enslaving of employees in future operations across the nation. And certainly overriding limited liability of iinvestors only serves to drive investments away from these places.

The second to last picture with all the shop signs actually reminds me of Hong Kong.

Perhaps off topic, but this is strikingly opposite of recent developments in first tier cities and in fact even our own apartment block in northern Kunming, where the authorities are forcing shops to remove excessive signs on the streets and in the walls - basically anywhere outside the immediate space the shops have leased.

Alright, if you go that way then everything is assuming. Assumptions is what made our ancestors come down from trees and cross a river and a mountain range. You assume quite a bit already when you go to sleep at night.

I am not assuming anything that didn't happen already. China already had a peasant revolution that was supposed to bring prosperity to all.

I am not asking for another revolution, but I am asking for that same spark. I do admit assuming that the Chinese state can contain such spark better this time.
