Politics are not permitted. There's plenty of places to discuss that elsewhere, and a hot pepper forum is not the place. Thank you for respecting the community!
Anybody know what this thing is? On a panel in a Chinese restaurant..

I got identification from a Chinese at work. It's a ruyi.

Wow, I also saw it in a restaurant yesterday. Thanks for telling us about it, as I would wonder what it is as well
I also like to get to know more about chinese culture. It's so beautiful! From my understanding, a ruyi is a curved decorative object that's often seen in Chinese art and culture.
It's often associated with good luck and prosperity and is sometimes used as a scepter or symbol of authority. It's fascinating to see how Chinese culture has influenced the design and decor of many Chinese restaurants worldwide. I also saw it when visiting riva restaurant for the delicious food. I was pleased to know that it has such a good sign!
