I still don't understand what white rabbit you are talking about, or what it's got to do with anything. So some of the candy was contaminated - so that's not good - so: what?

@Haali: Yes, but I'd call it the modern competitive/capitalist dream - culture of the country reflects a more fundamental reality (not that other historical class societies didn't present something similar).

Rather than a whole lot more local highway interchanges and aerial roads, etc., I'd be happy if they'd tax the hell out of private cars and use the cash to do something about the air, water, waste disposal, etc., but I have a strong feeling that nobody in government is going to listen to my suggestions. Public city transport, yeah, okay, despite the expense.

Only thing I'd add to my last post is that no one should expect smoking to disappear entirely, at least not for a century or so. But I think that's all right - moves like the US Prohibition (of alcohol) Amendment, which caused more trouble than it alleviated for 10 years (1920s), would be a bad idea.

Seems to me it's changing - diminishing - worldwide, though rather slowly in China. I'll guess (hunch) you'll see significant differences within the next 10 years. Of course the tobacco industry has to be dealt with, but by whom? The state makes money from it.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
