Some fun effects of BPA^1:

Exposure to BPA is a concern because of the possible health effects on the brain and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. It can also affect children's behavior. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

All things we definitely don't have enough of in the US.

Most of the "futuristic China tech" is just every day life in the PRC. It's also funny to have to throw in the paragraph near the end the 'others' worry the Huawei device he brought would spy on him. Who is worrying? What proof is there? There is no elaboration, it's just inserted as it's seemingly impossible for western news to simply have a positive article about China.

Not that surprising given FT recently reported (archive) "China on cusp of next-generation chip production despite US curbs". That said, like always, China does things at astounding speed.
