Next Episode: The China Fear?
Have you done lots of shopping on Double 11? The reason we ask is that 11/11, also known as Singles Day, has become China’s biggest online shopping holiday and become the Chinese retailer equivalent of Black Friday in the west.
Is Singles Day still a culture phenomenon in China where if you have not participated, you feel you would be left out? I have heard some people have started to lose interest this year as they feel the shopping rules have become quite complicated. Do you feel the same? Do you use shopping as your retail therapy? This is an encore episode in which Yajun and Jingjing discuss the "buy buy buy" culture in China.
