I can understand it, all the restaurants in my area still do take out except for the Chinese ones. Why, because they have been hassled and encountered great hostility, so they have closed down.
It would appear that San Antonio has had a deeper relationship with China for some time as these different articles show.
As we move forward, the onus is on China to amend relationships with the many countries of the world and IMO, their being abrasive and burning bridges, not mending them.
I agree but the point is more of where they overlap and the relationship between San Antonio and China. It would appear that they’ve historically had a closer than usual relationship with China, than the average US city.
