    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.

      I’m here right now and can confirm, shopping is great here. Also, the McDonald’s grilled chicken sandwich needs to come to America.
