    Saw this last night and it is pretty surreal to see Chengdu featured on Vice. Check it out, here’s a preview clip on Youtube:

    I downloaded the episode but it must be available online for streaming somewhere.

    The clip above is just the sneak peak, the full episode is 15 minutes long. It tells a few white monkey stories, the best one is when the Vice correspondent joins with laowai and does a real estate show dressed up as Buckingham Palace guards with the tall furry hats.

    Totally disagree! At least that’s a legit service requested (even tho it seems ridiculous). The best ones, because there are two, is the fake doctor who reads essentially a wikipedia listing at a convention, and more deceptive, the yiwu convention ‘fake’ investors, “last week I was Paul from Canada, now I’m Madagawa from Philippines” or whatever..all those unfortunate small business owners with stands at the convention, getting all these ‘contacts’ which are fully fake names, business cards, websites, all phoney, just to make the convention seem like an amazing place and sell more expensive booths to unfortunate small businesses….terrible!

    You’re right, you’re right. That one is better. When they ask him if he has any ethical concerns about what he does he responds: “… what do you mean?”
