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.

CoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.

For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.

If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.

"Survey of Economic Life in China"

If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.

If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.

There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.

It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.

Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?

"Dogs raised outside the key management areas may not be brought in."

Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?

I'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.

So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?
