Hello there China.

Apparantly China are making Golf a compulsory subject at universities. We will soon have a new influx of tourists to St Andrews and our other world-leading golf courses. It's started already.

We need to get our transport sorted out now though. To do that we have to get rid of numpties like Edinburgh Council who have put the clock back years with their stupid 'traffic mismanagement systems'.

Edinburgh airport should be linked on the same railway line as Fife and the north and not have a seperate line. The tram system should go somewhere in Mr Anderson where the sun don't shine. We should introduce a bike-share system like in Amsterdam, where they get as much rain as we do and the system is a huge success.

Dina Li , now theres a comendable Chinese name

Japan is indeed unpopular among Chinese and the sign, if understood by the shoppers, would make a very bad impression. Hope someone in their marketing department reads this -- their business performance wasn't too good a few years back and may still be ailing.

Yes, wonderful. Rushing to Paris to but commodities 'made in China'. Any Eskimo's for ice? Plenty sand for Bedouin's.

Wholesale whisky prices are going up thanks to Chinese demand. The combination of uisge beatha, golf and matchless scenery should make them a natural target market for Scottish tourist promoters. Just make sure they don't buy up the country while they are at it.

They started quietly buying up large tracts of Africa (particularly Zimbabwe) a couple of years before all the publicity about their African aid and investment came to the fore. They will systematically take over Africa with a calculating ruthlessness of which the politically correct Western powers are now totally incapable.

Emmmm, am I missing something, here? Aren't the Chinese meant to be communist? Aren't there meant to be no elites within such a system?

If "property is theft" why are they buying stuff?

Could it be that communism and its peely-wally bed-mate socialism were just a con all along? What people really want is loads and loads of STUFF!!!!

Surely the French will snicker at this latest batch of arriviste peasants, just as they sneered at the Japanese in the 80s lined up for their status symbols and the Americans in the 20s and 50s thronging the sights. I don't get the one designer bag per customer limit - why not just sell as many as you can carry away from a cavernous Walmartesque warehouse, as made in China goods are sold elsewhere with great success, unless the French are - gasp - up to that old capitalist ploy of maintaining high prices for otherwise unremarkable items by limiting supply.

FYI, Japanese second-hand stores have entire sections offering lovingly preserved (and barely used) Luis Vuiton bags bought in France back in the bubble days (and doled out contempuously by a snooty Parisian sales staff to long lines of patient Japanese, from all reports). Someone should tell the Chinese to pop over here to Japan for some bargain shopping, a good laugh at their former enemies, and a lesson in how all shopping glory is fleeting.

Let the nouveau riche waste their money on this junk, but could someone please tell pepole in China not to spend their new wealth wiping out endangered species for bogus traditional cures like rhino horn, tiger bones, or bear bile, or on other showy endangered animal products?

Let's hope that after seeing enough of this show-off consumption, downtrodden peasants and workers in China will get angry enough and send the new bourgeoisie to labor camps with their designer goods!
