The Chinese Congress was just in session, fashion statements by congressional delegates also made headlines across the country. The beginning of a national sport called “Spot the Delegate Wearing Luxury Items!” and reporters and citizens alike were totally into it. Sightings were reported on the Internet and went viral in a nanosecond.
Li Xiaoling, daughter of Li Peng and ceo of a major power company in China showed up in a Pucci jacket with Chanel necklace.According to reports coursing through the Internet, she proposed that the government should keep a “moral behavior” dossier on all citizens. “So that the people will learn what is shame.” The Public responded “Shame on you!”Other major sightings include Chanel boots on Song Zuying, a folk singer from the military and long rumored to be favored by the former Party Chief Jiang Zemin. Song showed up in a drab army coat and uniform when entering the conference hall. But once inside, reporters noticed that beneath the coat and uniform was a well-fitted suit (no label confirmed) with knee-high Chanel boots.
One must be impressed by the brand-savvy Chinese public. Despite the fact that the majority of Chinese cannot afford luxury items, people seem to know their brands very well. Many bloggers could find the runway pictures to illustrate the source and mark of various pieces.Behind an ostensible hatred for luxury items, the real popular sentiment is directed against corruption.
