Jiang Zhao, associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said during an exclusive interview with #ChinaPerspectives that the shopping in China trend among foreign visitors stems from the country's optimized visa-free policies. Meanwhile, the upgraded Chinese manufacturing capabilities have shifted foreigners' purchasing preferences toward high-value-added products like drones and smart wearables. Additionally, immersive consumption models, such as intangible cultural heritage tours, have spurred new consumer demand.
