CoronitaParticipantI will add this contrarian viewpoint. I'm waiting for the numbers from e-tailers. My gut is telling me that while traditional retailers for clothing and home goods are going to get wacked, two areas where things are going to be fine are
1) Electronics
2) Kids stuff
Waiting for amazon numbers…

Participant>>Obviously, you haven’t visited beijing recently.
http://www.chinatour.com/attraction/xiushuidongjie.htm
My meaning was the OLD Silk Street has been closed. The prices are higher at the new Xiushui Market, which some claim as the New Silk Street.
Now IF you are saying the Old Silk Street is still there, operating, that IS news to me. My understanding is that is has been DEMOLISHED.
There was a really interesting article some time ago in the WSJ about the nasty politics behind the closing of Old Silk Street, and how insiders (who own the new Xiushui Market) made lots of money on the deal.

ParticipantI was just in Shanghai, you got to cut the price by a third and then half at the beginning of the negotiation. Too much trouble for my taste. I can’t never get the low low price because I don’t speak like the locals.
