Campaign, crackdown, updates on traffic enforcement (scooters)

998S.. I've been here 18 years. I surf here in the summer, do a lot of sailing, surf taiwan in the winter and I'm riding bikes like they're going out of fashion. I have a small factory here, a house etc and of course the chinese wife and a couple half breeds.
I used to think about retiring somewhere nice but I read in the paper about the crap overseas and look at this place and really can't think of anywhere I'd actually rather be..Though I do live outside of a city and ningbo is a small city.. I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to live in any city anywhere on this planet. They stink and are full of stinky, money grabbing people and the pigs shite zero tolerance.
Sure, this place can be frustrating but where else on this planet can you argue with a pig? What other asian country lets you have your name on the property title. And the roads, the mountains, the development...
I dont' know about exit strategy.. All the money is here and it keeps getting better. We could try and import some better quality ex pats though......

Is there any "China long termer" NOT arranging his exit strategy?
I hardly know anyone who is not arranging this .... kind of frightening ...

Just an exit from full time life in Beijing ... Moving permanently to a less Chinese part of China.

On 11/28, around 11pm I spotted at least three ad hoc police checkpoints set up at the following intersections in BJ:

*ChangAn and Dongdaqiao
*GuangHuaLu and Dongdaqiao
*RitanBei Lu and Dongdaqiao

At the second one, I spotted three cops wait for two scooters heading southbound on Dongdaqiao. Once they got close, the three of them ran out into traffic and stopped the two scooters by surrounding them and pulling out the keys. Both were wearing helmets and did not appear (from my distance) to be obvious offenders who ruin it for others. But I do not know what happened prior to what I saw (perhaps they evaded a prior stop).

Anyway, wondering if some renewed enforcement program is underway.

11 pm at night makes sense with the drinking and driving campaign that is going on. I got pulled over with Jing B and they just asked me to take off my helmet asked me my name and stuck his face in mind. No alcohol, just garlic... Let me go.
