Janet Yellen's 'Hallucinogenic' Mushroom Incident Raises Questions on US-China Relations

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has faced criticism for repeatedly bowing to China's vice premier, and it has been suggested that her behavior may have been influenced by consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms during a dinner in Beijing. The mushrooms, known as jian shou qing, have psychedelic properties if not cooked thoroughly. However, the restaurant claims that the mushrooms were properly prepared. Yellen's actions have been seen as a breach of diplomatic protocol, and she has been accused of showing weakness on behalf of America. Tensions between the US and China have been rising in recent months.
