Rich men spend like poor men, and poor men spend like rich men

The portrayal of wealthy Chinese individuals mirrors the fishbowl phenomenon. Essentially, Chinese people are experiencing a phase of wealth stabilization and self-awareness similar to what Westerners have already gone through. In time, they'll become just as concerned about organic food and plastic cups as yoga moms were in the West a decade ago.

The way you deliver your narration in both English and Mandarin with ease deserves 2 thumbs up 👍 👍

because the government told them to tone down the flaunting on the media, for general public's morale

How am I supposed to spot Chinese tourists without them wearing Balenciaga t-shirts and sporting Chanel handbags?
-
This a trend for all rich people around the world. High quality clothing is important, ostentatious luxury is outdated.

There used to be a time when if you wore a tee shirt provided by a brand for free, you would be considered a walking billboard. Worst is when you pay so much to be their advertisers. Glad people are slowly waking up to their senses.😊

Have they ever tried no luxury if they are gonna pretend to be humble?

Because everyone is tired to see word BALENCIAGA and BAPE on everyones clothes

At least she knows Chinese. Some improvements.

Yes, I felt that when I was in China recent times, people more look for the quality of textile, comfort and tech of cloth, something as simple as no edge underwear ( the edge and label all gone because the extra skin rub discomfort from them)

We have something like this in America. The bourgeoisie and the proletariat.

Quiet luxury: Amazon Essentials= more money in your account.

Soon Chinese parents will look at their children at dinner time and say : "If you don't study hard, you will only be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW in the future."
-
Which probably explains why the top 1% is now giving up "quiet luxury" for "no luxury at all"
-
Not the China Chinese in Australia!! Wears 'Chanel' and heels to the supermarket and shopping malls!
-
Maybe now they prefer quiet washing machine than loud noisy washing machine.

China with the population of 1.5 billion has 969 billionaires is not more than US which only have 350 million people yet 691 billionaires. If you switch over to percentage.

china should impose 100% tariff to these luxury brand from EU and US in retaliation to them.
