Just about anything that doesn't break after 3 months is rare to find in China. You can get them, but often at highly inflated prices. They usually love anything that is imported.

I heard pistachio is rare there but I do not know it is true or false.

I found that a really good gift idea is to give something related to Yao Ming (basketball player) such as a jersey or sports memorabilia. He represents a global icon that connects the two countries and since he just retired, they could consider it valuable and thoughtful. This worked really well for me during business meetings with Chinese officials and one of them said they were giving it to his son so I think it would be a popular gift for anyone.
