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.

Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted byCoVid 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.
Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted by"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?
New strict dog regulations in 36 Kunming areas
Posted by"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...?
Announcing the new website Destination Lijiang
Posted byI'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?
