The Atlantic takes DC's Chinatown to task this week, asking "shouldn't a Chinatown actually contain, um, Chinese restaurants, instead of an amusement park of characteristic Americana like Ruby Tuesday, Fuddruckers, and Hooters? Ah, but you see, Hooters' name is translated into Chinese characters, so it's authentic!" They recommend subsidies from the Chinese government. [The Atlantic]
