Janet Yellen's Diplomatic Trip to Beijing Sparks Controversy and Tension

TL;DR Summary
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's dining experience at a Yunnan restaurant in Beijing has captured the attention of Chinese netizens. The restaurant has now branded its menu as the "God of Money" menu, featuring the dishes Yellen ordered. One particular dish, stir-fried Jian Shou Qing mushrooms, was ordered four times. Despite the pleasant dining experience, Yellen's visit did not lead to any diplomatic breakthroughs in US-China relations, although both parties agreed to continue high-level talks on economic issues.
