“I can see how this looks strange,” Brill said. “But I assure you that Winnie’s intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude.

Chinese here, that's pure BS. The only time money is given is during Chinese New Year (Lunar new year), and only from adults to children / teens. It's not a gesture of 'friendship and gratitude'.
