MSG in Chinese food isn't unhealthy -- you're just racist, activists say
"Chinese Restaurant Syndrome isn't just scientifically false — it's xenophobic." In a video released by Ajinomoto, several Asian American figures, restaurateurs, and medical professionals spoke out against the misconceptions surrounding MSG and Chinese food. "Calling it Chinese restaurant syndrome is really ignorant," said restaurateur Eddie Huang, whose memoir was adapted into the hit sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat." The idea that Chinese food was dangerous spread quickly, and was lent legitimacy by some medical professionals at the time. Now, some are reclaiming and openly embracing the additive; Chinese restaurant chain Mission Chinese Food has salt shakers filled with MSG , and MSG margaritas with MSG crystals in the ice cubes.

Why Hong Kong protesters aren’t cheering this police officer’s arrest
But the Hong Kong government has resisted launching that kind of inquiry. The Hong Kong Bar Assn. AdvertisementThe bar association noted there have been at least 17 commissions of inquiry in Hong Kong since 1966, three of which dealt with police misconduct. Hong Kong has been administered under a “one country, two systems” framework since the former British crown colony was returned to China in 1997. Hong Kong acts as a node to global markets accessible to China’s partially closed economy — one that can only exist with a separate legal system and banking system from China’s.

Authorities move L.A. attorney Michael Avenatti to New York ahead of trial

Maduro says he’s still in control of Venezuela, ready for direct talks with the United States
The United States has held firm on its position that unless and until Maduro is willing to discuss his exit from the presidential palace, direct talks would probably only strengthen him. In two more meetings before the plot was sprung, Maduro told The Post, he laid a trap for Figuera — who ultimately escaped to Colombia and later the United States. The United States, most Latin American nations and European powers have dismissed the operation as political theater. ADAD“Guaidó is responsible for having lost the National Assembly,” Maduro said. is threatening to begin imposing individual sanctions and travel bans of the kind that already have been slapped on Maduro officials by the United States.

Huawei Moves To Dodge Google Ban Just As U.S. Fight Gets Personal
A repeat would be a serious setback for any Huawei aspirations to shore up smartphone sales this year. According to Huawei, the real plan to beat the Google ban goes beyond tweaks to existing devices. Some welcome news, then, for Huawei with the announcement that Tom Tom, the Dutch digital mapping company, was signed up to provide mapping, location and navigation services for HMS. Make no mistake, despite the relatively dry reporting of the technicalities of the Meng extradition case, this is deeply personal. Despite the smartphone and Google headlines, this is the real fight.

Donovan Mitchell Is Speeding Up His Superstar Trajectory
(Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images) Getty ImagesIt didn’t take long for people to start nitpicking Donovan Mitchell. Enter “Waiters Donovan Mitchell” or “Monta Donovan Mitchell” into Twitter’s search bar and you’ll find plenty who want to diminish what Mitchell has been to this point in his career (to be fair, some of the tweets are clearly jokes). What the detractors who wish to brand Mitchell a “chucker” ignore is that Mitchell is doing this as the undeniable No. Over the course of his career, Mitchell has averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds per 75 possessions. Among the 62 players averaging 20-plus points per 75 possessions over the course of Mitchell’s career, he’s 43rd in free-throw rate.
