Yep, it's a new one:
There's actually two shopping centers across from each another under construction. Potential Line 5 metro station beneath in the works.
I was recently eating hotpot nearby. Aegean's grand opening is supposedly in 2-3 months, but a different section where Hema Supermarket situates is opening earlier... tomorrow.
For those who wish to witness the grand opening of 'smart retail' Hema supermarket by Alibaba. The first flagship store opens in Kunming tomorrow at Aegean Shopping Mall. Intersection of Baiyun Road and Bailong Road.
If I'm not mistaken, it's near your vicinity JanJal. Go check it out to see produce flying over your head on conveyor belts or critique how much plastic packaging they're using!
Geezer, that report is nearly a decade old. I'm curious how environmental policy changes have bucked this trend, given the changing of guards in both China and the USA. The polar opposite role reversals of environmentally conscious Presidents of respective nations.
JanJal, it comes down to picking your poisons....
Incineration w/o sorting create microplastic compounds that evaporate into the sky, condense into clouds, and rain microplastic debris into oceans en route breaching ecosystem circulation. To say nothing of direct inhalation of toxic air.
Speaking of which, recent protests in Wuhan over landfill trash incinerator plants have actually panned out for 'NIMBY' (Not In My Backyard) locals.
Wuhan officials decided to stall proposed incineration, but also blamed HK protestors for setting bad examples for mainland citizens.
Civility in this context may be subjective to relativity, like time itself.
My real concern is, who the hell is habitually dumping large scale trash into the oceans??
Still would be sought after considering 1/3 of global shipping passes through that contested territory, not to mention massive untapped natural resources below.
No results found.

Posted byJust Hot Jan, I need to inform you that Just Hot is the subsidiary of JiaHua Bakeries. Although TKP's Just Hot targets higher-end market segments, the apple doesn't fall from its tree... it's no wonder their ginormous croissants can't compare with the croissant quality of their direct competitor, Bon Appétit, which is situated not far from them on the same B1 level.
Property conglomerate Hang Lung opens Spring City 66, Kunming's tallest building
Posted byThank you with sincerity for doing your part in being their beacon of light now, and glimmer of hope for their future.
Touching base on the challenges of recruiting credentialed teachers to rural outskirts.
Though some may scoff at technology and change from traditional pedagogy/curriculum. Perhaps the anecdote in that domain lies somewhere in the advent synergy of 5G, A.I, and satellite internet....
to bring real-time machine learning based academia to backwater classrooms in virtual form. Reaching not just hundreds of millions of rural children in China. But bridging education access gap to those less fortunate families in the Middle East, India/Pakistan, South East Asia, Africa, and the rest of the world.
Perhaps a ground-up, global multinational cooperation effort with coalition of governments' subsidies to incentivize private innovations need to occur to make this a reality.

Posted byNo cloudy, Starbucks aren't enough to give rural children the opportunities for a brighter future.
Building more schools and hiring a legion of well-trained teachers to foster a better education system may help.
The government needs to allocate more funds to building and revamping these countryside schools.
And where may local governments get that money outside Beijing?
Perhaps by selling or leasing prime real estate locations at exorbitant prices to foreign investors, such Hang Lung Properties.
By permitting these deep-pocketed developers to build skyscrapers at sought-after locations, value of land further increases, hence their selling/leasing prices resulting in higher revenues (inc. corporate taxes from ensuing business & offices) for funding public projects such as said public education.
This is where the corporate buzzwords you so despise come into play. Accountability, transparency, and oversight. Without which, corrupt-prone local officials may end up pocketing the hongbaos from developers to be transferred to their private Swiss bank accounts used by their own privileged children studying aboard.
With accountability, transparency, and oversight... hundreds of billions in funds are more than enough to provide poverty stricken children the first steps in the right path to a brighter future.

Posted byCostco officially opened in Shanghai today. First store in China.
If and when this hypermarket chain opens in Kunming, the usual complainers would instead be raving in joy, and overlooking how such "soulless" investment resources and land allocation would be better served alleviating poverty.
Sometimes it comes down to whether new projects tailor or serve one's own needs.
