> This is like the only thing...the only thing...that has gotten better in China while I've been here!

Slightly off topic, but what are the things that have gotten much worse?

Traffic, pollution, Internet censorship and VPN attacks, rent, visa rules, taxes.

I really wish I could have gone to Beijing when people still rode bikes. Really loved how that looked in photographs.

I was in Beijing in winter 1999/2000 when the morning sea of bicycles thing was still active. Precious memories that I won't experience again.
