We had a chance to eat at Tojo's while we were in Vancouver and heard the story from Chef Tojo himself. Very nice dude, and the food was pretty good as well!

I feel like news reports of invasive species usually end up with the invaders becoming endemic. Nice to see a successful eradication for once!

One thing I haven't seen mentioned which jumped out to me about the first theory is how would they have inflated the bag with breathable air in the first place? Were air pumps around back then?

I believe App Store updates a day later, so we're likely not seeing the results of any mass rating bombs.

For sure, it's much easier to sell any decision if you package it in terms of values and ideals that your population is willing to embrace. It's as true for the US as it is any other country in the world.

Historically the US trade relationship with China was based on a principal that doing so would encourage the adoption of democracy there. Seeing as how that hasn't happened, this kind of rhetoric could just be an attempt to course correct (maybe overly so).

I'm sure the upcoming elections also play a part in this. The article briefly mentions that as well.

I'm not sure it's fair to place the blame solely on the CCP. A lot of the less desirable behavior stemmed from scarcity of resources, especially when the country was poor.

Can't comment too much on corruption as I don't have much experience there, but I have noticed things like lining up and littering get better as the standard of living has improved over the years.
