This is all part of a bigger plan that is just in its beginning stages.
The half naked laowais splattered on the floor like turds are the reason why China is tightening the noose and raising the standards for teachers - limit the number of less-skilled laowai = eliminate the riff raff.
Anyone with eyes can see that the police are not helping the laowais but restraining them. I am sure someone here will come up with the idea that they were attacked by nationalistic and xenophobic chinese.
Now this thread has turned from nationalism, socialism, xenophobia, and discrimination into income tax. laws.
shanghaiist.com/2016/09/12/work_permit_ranking.php - Back on topic = work permit!
Foreigners will be given points based on:
1 - Salary in China.
2 - Educational background.
3 - Length of work in China.
4 - Chinese language proficiency (HSK).
5 - Age (25-40)
6 - Where they work (city, county, village)
Very reasonable requirements.
This is for foreigners with a work visa. This has nothing to do with any other types of visas.
shanghaiist.com/2016/09/12/work_permit_ranking.php - limit the number of less-skilled laowai.
In its continuing quest to attract more highly-skilled foreign talent - and limit the number of less-skilled laowai - China is planning to streamline its work visa system, while also neatly categorizing all the expats. China will classify all foreign workers into three distinct categories:
A (top talent) - 85 points or higher? You get an A, congratulations, you're one of the good ones!
B (professional talent) - Only 60 points or higher? That's a B, still have some work to do.
C (unskilled workers or those working the service industry) - Below 60 points? Sorry, you're a C-level talent. You have been judged and found wanting,
Foreigners will be given points based on: 1 - Salary in China, 2 - Educational background, 3 - Length of work in China, 4 - Chinese language proficiency, 5 - Age, 6 - Where they work = Seems like very reasonable requirements.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this policy - Supply + demand = Competition. A white face is no longer enough - Time to get certified + qualified. This has nothing to do with discrimination, nationalism, zenophobia or socialism.
Saved for posterity.

This is a great little Old Town that is on the list of Historical sites.
Midu is 30 minutes from Xiang Yun - Midu is 1.5 hours from Xia Guan - Mi Zhi is 40 minutes from Midu.
The place you want to see is called Wen Sheng Jie in Mi Zhi. This is great for a 1 day trip. Lots to see nearby - I will make a list of all the locations nearby as soon as I get home.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
Yunnan's largest hydroelectric dam goes online
Posted byDoes anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
Posted byI am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.

Video: Unseen Stone Forest
Posted byThe video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

Kunming's Red alley: Jiexiao Xiang
Posted byI ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
