Chinese tourists lament that American goods are cheap

An important reason why the financial crisis has had a limited impact on American life is that American things are too cheap. Some American scholars said, “The United States has become a shopping paradise because of China.” China exports a large amount of cheap goods to the United States every year, and the prices are much cheaper than those sold domestically. The 2008 shopping season saw many tourists from China going on a shopping spree. In a sporting goods store, a Chinese tourist passing through the United States bought 10 pairs of Adidas travel shoes and 5 sets of sportswear in one go, and kept saying: “Too cheap, too cheap.” 1 pair of brand-name travel shoes It costs 600-700 yuan in China, but you can get it for 20-30 US dollars in the United States. In Wal-Mart supermarkets, there are even Chinese-made hiking shoes sold for US$2.29 a pair, which is simply unimaginable in China.
