Best Buy went and hired a lot of Shanghai staff, but went and westernised them. They only work eight hours a day!

In China's big cities, American products - say, for instance, Proctor and Gamble shampoos or many other goods - are widely coveted by a lot of Chinese consumers.

Brands who come to China, often they just care about price - so they actually drive the suppliers to cut corners on environmental standards to win a contract.

Chinese... companies do not have to think about whether they do something to enhance their competitive edge in international markets.

In spite of all this noise, customers are still definitely buying in North America, and they're really, really buying internationally.

If you are only big in China, you are only a local Chinese company.

China is a very brand-intensive society. The reason that brands are so very important is that they are a way to signal social status.

If the Chinese can't buy U.S. products, they'll buy them from European countries and then develop stronger economic ties with France and Germany and perhaps side more with those countries when international issues flare up.

The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.

Products made in China are cheap through the exploitation of the workforce. Every time we shop, we are driving the nail further into the coffin of American manufacturing jobs.
