Of course, as I had just written the above posts, our neighbourhood was informed that starting tomorrow the 5th the cards will be required.

In any case, if the point of reading the QR codes is to track who may be infected, I'd say it is safe to assume that if you live in residential complex where infection has occurred, you are to be assumed potentially infected just by having your address there, even if you were not registered going in/out in the system - since for many reasons such coming and going is not bulletproof to track.

When we came back to Kunming, we were given one such temp card, and were told to fetch the real card 14 days later.

But for time being (after the first entry anyway), we have not needed to read QR codes nor present the temp card.

Or even use our keycards to open the gates ourselves - but that may be because we usually come carrying more stuff than we would normally, so they're just being helpful.

Wife just checked the Green Party offer, and told me that the delivery would be only after March 22. So don't know if "dire need" is applicable here.

@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.
