Fair enough. I enjoyed it, although most Sichuan cuisine is too spicy for my taste.

Completely unrelated. I first started following you on Salon in the Internet's pre-Cambrian era. My primary interests lie in the areas of economics and politics. Scanning your post's titles, it seems the focus of your Substack is Chinese culture and cuisine. While this is certainly worthwhile, it is not a major interest. I would be interested in your takes on the current Zero COVID policy or President Xi's born again Maoism. Are these politically sensitive topics beyond the scope of this outlet? Given the outrageous bullying that the PRC subjects foreigners to when they want access to Chinese markets, I could certainly understand avoiding them.
