I agree with Vivien, Chinese people are no different from others in the world who want status symbols in terms of clothes, possessions etc. Soon they will also learn that 'you can't judge a book by its cover!'

I think there might gotta something we chinese people interested in but can't afford. which I means a house. The inflation in shanghai is horrible.

Chinese are interestd in buying almost everything, they have good tast, they want to buy the expensive stuff. The same product may be made in China, Japan, Europe, Mexico, and Canada. They prefer the same product that were made in Japan and Europe ( France, Italy). Clothing - Japan, France, Italy Technology - US, Germany Accessories - Japan Cosmetics - Japan, France Medicines - US, Germany Cigarettes - US The product(s) must be brand name and original. Price is not the issue.

Cause some of them want to show their status and richness. But I think it stupid sometimes because they may buy some fake ones from abroad which is made in China.
