WHAT'S COOL IN CHINA

China has an old saying, “to chase after trends.” However, in today’s China, this aphorism needs to be revised. For most Chinese people, what’s fashionable actually “chases after” them. In the past, trends tended to “sneak” into the Chinese people’s lives; they were always first accepted and enjoyed by a coterie and then picked up by most ordinary people. Nowadays, the latest trends seem to just jump into your life before you realize it, and you simply can’t say no.
