Or course there are quips etc. I'm an struggling to refrain from them. It looks to be an inexpensive, key chain kind of thing. Inexpensive casting. China is huge. It may well be nothing at all. It may be Japanese. Korean? There is more than one Chinese dialects, one is Mandarin the other I don't recall. I had a good friend whose parents owned a Chinese Restaurant. Many who work in Chinese restaurants sort of fake it. What we order in a Chinese restaurant is American demanded Chinese
food. Chow mein was invented in California. Fortune cookies in Brooklyn
