Funny, everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant. I just spent a week there and it's more capitalist and consumer centric than anything I've ever seen. Certainly more than Singapore, USA, UK. All the brands x all the shopping. It's not a tourist spot, it's a shopping experience.
Yep. My Chinese colleagues hobbies were shopping and shopping.
I'm here right now and can confirm, shopping is great here. Also, the McDonald's grilled chicken sandwich needs to come to America.
I imagine it's because everywhere else in the world has higher standards for food
Rule 1 of McDonald's it's better everywhere in the world then America.
sure, let's implement their state-directed economy then. seem to be working quite well.
