I remember the infant formula scandal caused Chinese citizens to empty Hong Kong supermarkets because they were selling infant formula brands from other countries. The hotel employee was surprisingly honest, great story! Perhaps the local beef was being sold as Wagyu? ;)
Heh, that hamburger story predated Chinese knowledge of wagyu. And Chinese consumers are STILL buying foreign goods for health and safety reasons. I have read that the pharmacy chains in Japan opposite cruise ship terminals do an incredible business.
