Where is the license plate 'Yun Z' from?

There is no 'Yun Z' license plate. The license plates with 'Yun' include: 1. Yun A: Kunming City, Yunnan Province (except Dongchuan District). 2. Yun A-V: Dongchuan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. 3. Yun C: Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province. 4. Yun D: Qujing City, Yunnan Province. 5. Yun E: Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. 6. Yun F: Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. 7. Yun G: Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
I've been driving a taxi for over a decade and know all the provincial license plate codes in China. Yunnan's codes range from A to Q - Kunming is Yun A, Dali is Yun J, and the westernmost is Yun Q for Lincang. I've never seen a Yun Z plate before. Such license plates are definitely fake, probably made up for TV shows or movies. If you see a car with this plate driving around, it should definitely be pulled over for inspection. Everyone, remember to take photos and report any suspicious license plates you see - don't let fake plates get away.
Last time I was chatting with Old Chen about license plates, he mentioned seeing vehicles with 'Yun Z' plates at the Ruili border trade market. I looked it up and found no such code exists. Legitimate Yunnan plates only go from A to Q. Border areas might have special plates, like cross-border freight trucks with dual China-Myanmar plates, but I've never heard of 'Yun Z'. If you ask me, it's probably just young people sticking custom vanity plates on their modified cars – nowadays tuning shops will try anything for attention.
