Yes, I saw it and just received the full copy. Will put up some excerpts tomorrow.

By the way, I sent you a few items via email. Not sure if they got through or not. If not, I can send them again.

Cheers, Jim

Or maybe they remembered to bring the wine but not the glasses? But pretty sure you’re right.

Cheers, Jim

In the photo of Premier Zhou and President Nixon, I believe they are drinking Moutai. It was the favourite drink of Premier Zhou, and I remember a photo taken from the opposite side that showed the glasses clearer.
