Yes, Victorians, there are Wal-Marts in China:
And yes, everything in them is from China. Okay, actually, that is not correct because there is a foreign food section!
In Linyi, we have RT-Mart, which is just like a Wal-Mart. See what's on special this week! RT-Mart is located underneath Linyi's main plaza. It's one of our main shopping sites. There's a persistent rumor that a Wal-Mart will be opening here in the future. I guess we'll know when we see it!
The above photo was taken from a car in the city of Chongqing, in Southwestern China, by my sister-in-law.

Yes, that's true, Roy! Not that you would want to buy everything they have on offer! There is a definite lack of quality in some of the cheaper goods. Many Chinese will only buy German brand appliances, for example, even if they have been manufactured in China, because their quality control is better. Siemens & Philips are two examples of popular product lines for the wealthier Chinese.
