Janet Yellen: The strange behavior in China due to hallucinogenic mushrooms?

Janet Yellen's trip to China went fairly diplomatically, but was marred by a few quirks. For example, she bowed several times to Xi Jinping, who did not reciprocate the gesture, giving the impression of being in a situation of submission towards the Chinese leader. Unusual behavior for a member of the US government.

An unusual behavior in general, and even more specifically, in a person of Yellen's international experience. Why this attitude?

It seems that, before the meeting, Yellen had dinner in a Beijing restaurant known for its excellent reviews on Weibo, with the name, in English, "In and out", where she was served three courses based on Jiuan Shou Qing , a Chinese mushroom with unpredictable hallucinogenic effects.

As the New York Post explains, lovers of the product say that, after consuming it, one thinks one is walking forward, but one falls sideways very easily. It is therefore an intellectually disabling mushroom, not exactly the ideal to consume on the eve of a political meeting.

We don't know if this curious fact is true, or if it is a gimmick to explain unusual behavior and suboptimal results, or if it is true, in which case it would be a shocking underestimation of the risks of his staff.
