I well remember how distressing it was to sit down in a "Chinese" restaurant with a good reputation only to discover that there was NOTHING on the menu for a single diner.
Yes, in China the smallest unit is the extended family, not the individual. Wil noticed that when he had a boss who was from China. She was always sending money home and would sometimes chastise a coworker who may have mentioned how his extended family was always wanting more. It may be part of how folks there can live in such close quarters. I hadn't thought of the restaurant version!
re that bit about Black candidates raising money: Remember Chris Jones? Running for Governor of Arkansas? Just got an email that he has raised $1 million. That's presumably in addition to donations to "Defeat Sarah." (I'm donating $5/month.)
