Whether or not there’s a lot to be thankful for this year is certainly debatable, as more than a few peoples’ lives were irrevocably flipped upside down over the last 11 months. Nevertheless, if there is anything to be thankful for, it’s the fact that in China, at least, the ongoing struggle is largely behind us. Likewise, it’s perfectly acceptable to celebrate a delicious Thanksgiving spread, without necessarily celebrating the holiday. For those looking to dine-in and those who would rather take-out... Beijing is bursting with turkey dinners this holiday season.
