While visiting famous scenic spots and experiencing Chinese culture, more and more foreign tourists are making "Chinese shopping" a priority on their itinerary. They came with empty boxes and returned loaded with "Made in China" - from DJI sports cameras, Huawei foldable screen phones, to popular Labubu dolls under Pop Mart, "Made in China" and "Created in China" are becoming indispensable new specialties in foreign tourists' return luggage. The "Chinese shopping cart" of foreigners is quietly undergoing an upgrade: the shopping list, which used to be dominated by traditional souvenirs such as agricultural products and porcelain, is now more occupied by high value-added products such as domestic electronic devices, smart homes, and cultural and creative products. On the one hand, "Where to buy Labubu" has become a hot topic among many tourists; On the other hand, in areas such as Shenzhen and Huaqiangbei where the electronics industry is developed, people are eager to experience and purchase electronic products. Data shows that in Shenzhen, from January to August this year, the number of tax refund transactions for domestic trendy products such as DJI and Huawei accounted for 38.8% of the total number of tax refunds, becoming a must buy product for foreign tourists entering China. The popularity of "China Shopping" is not only reflected in data, but also reflects the changing preferences of foreign consumers for Chinese consumer goods. Since the beginning of this year, the trend of "reverse purchasing" in China, which has emerged among European and American customers, has become popular on overseas social media platforms along with the topic of "China Travel", becoming a vivid epitome of Chinese brands attracting global consumers. How did Chinese products capture the world? Firstly, there is a structural leap in Chinese manufacturing. Currently, Chinese products such as smartphones, drones, and smartwatches are firmly occupying a place in the global market with excellent quality, leading technology, and ultra-high cost-effectiveness. For many foreign tourists, shopping in China is the most direct "technology experience". Behind this is the leap from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China", as Chinese brands accelerate their leadership in the global consumer market. According to Canalys platform statistics, Huawei surpassed Samsung with a global market share of 48% in the first half of this year, becoming the new leader in the foldable phone market; In the field of drones, DJI has long occupied 70% to 85% of the global market share and is renowned overseas for its high performance; In sports cameras, Chinese figures such as Yingshi are also accelerating their market share. Secondly, it is the result of the combination of institutional and service advantages. Supporting systems such as mobile payment, smart retail, and instant tax refund make shopping more convenient and secure. The digitization and efficiency of China's consumer environment have become important soft power to attract global tourists. Finally, deeper changes come from the rise of cultural attraction. Since the beginning of this year, with the widespread dissemination of Chinese films and games such as "Ne Zha 2" and "Black Myth: Wukong" around the world, Labubu has gained countless fans worldwide. "Made in China" is carrying a new aesthetic language that resonates in the global cultural context. It is no longer just a commodity, but a perceptible cultural expression. The return of manufacturing industry, brand trust, and open dividends - multiple forces are stacking up, transforming China from a world factory to a world showcase. The shopping list of foreign tourists may be more intuitive than any economic data. When 'Made in China' becomes the endpoint of the global journey, the attractiveness of the Chinese market is becoming a new starting point for the world economy. (New Society)
