My Spam filter is going haywire, I think it’s classified the whole of China as a “Spam network”. Not ideal for a China based blog.
I don’t have time to fix it right now, and if I turn it off we’ll all be buried within the hour.
Sorry kids. Patience is a virtue.
A spam factory, China

I’m in Kunming today, it’s a city of 6 million people in Yunnan province. In China they call it “Spring City” because this is where 94% of the world’s bed springs are made.
All packed for Kunming
I’m here for work and we had a meeting this morning that was so entirely in Chinese, that I had to drink 6 cups of tea to stop falling asleep, and then had to pee 4 times. Luckily I don’t think anyone noticed though as I craftily pretended to have an important phone call every time I went to make toilet.
In fact they probably all think I’m insanely popular and important, I find it’s important not to let the mask slip too soon
Now, we’re finished early so are going to look at some minority people.
CHINA FACT!
China has the Han minority (e.g. Jackie Chan, Chairman Mao) and then a bunch of smaller minority groups such as the Weaver or Hui people.
A man who may or may not be a minority. I find it hard to tell
N.B Yes I was joking about the Spring City thing.
