Q: I want to start a fashion chain
It will be called "China's wealth" and is intended to showcase the profundity of thought displayed by Mainland Chinese. Mostly t-shirts, but also other garments with printable surfaces.
On the garments will be printed Chinese texts, collected from internet forums. Topics will range from:
- Why foreign men who steal our women are losers.
- Why Chinese women who date foreigners are traitors.
- Why Japanese are dogs that need to be killed.
- How China beat the world and is (nearly) no. 1 on the top 10.
- When your TCM remedy didn't work, you need to wait longer, pray more, or you did something wrong.
- Why 'western' medicine is unhealthy.
- How foreigners are to blame for poison in Chinese food products.
- Why Chinese manners make emigrated Mainlanders cultural elites in developed western nations.
- How great the newest iPhone [ ] is. {a blank space is left open so the t-shirt buyer can update his shirt by writing down the latest iPhone model number}
I think it will be a raging success. I can't wait to wear one of those shirts abroad.
"What a beautiful t-shirt. Are those Chinese proverbs, full of the mystery and profundity of the Far East?"
"They sure are."
I want to contribute a new line of products to cater to the same target market.
- a keychain specially designed to covertly scratch nearby cars that are more expensive than your car
- a baijiu glass designed to appear larger than it is through an optical illusion so the owner gets more face for drinking more at business dinners or ( when the technology becomes available) a glass that will convert the baijiu into water
- a cage full of trained parrots who can ask the following questions:
how much do you make a month?
How many square meters is your apartment?
Which iPhone do you have?
how much was that?
the parrots will be specially trained to look at the watch and shoes of all males and approximate the height and skin tone of females and report back to the owner
- a kettle that can be powered by a mobile charger to ensure a steady supply of hot water when on the go
- an app that can evaluate the appropriate bribe to give in situations including when you go to the hospital, want your kid's teacher to pay attention to him in school, or want to help your daughter to find a stable job with benefits- you input some basic info and the app will give you an appropriate amount based on real time data of the bribes that other app users in similar situations have given

You could have a special line of tattoos as well.
Also, you need to have a high tech shirt which displays a food porn photo of what the wearer just ate.
Whichever way I look at it, all of you earned your first class honors from U of PRC. No sarcasm intended.
I'd thought about a t-shirt series with "BCD", or "No Why - TIC". The irony of the locals wearing it should bring a huge smile to any of us 
I think you are doing an unfair attack of TCM. Lots of TCM remidies have an effect. Many TCM manufacturers put western drugs in their stuff "for immidiate effect" e.g. ephedrine, antibiotics etc is present in the traditional powders you can buy. That way people will feel good while not feeling they are using evil western technology. And as the labelling doesn't contain any information about this, if any information at all, then you are sure to get a decent dosage.
coineineagh:
TCM is Yangist entertainment. Yangists ask: "extend MY life, make ME live longer." - while exercising their right to be selfish, they may accidentally ingest some positive medication, but equal chances they harm themselves with bad remedies. Meanwhile, local Heineken beer can't be sold abroad because it contains small amounts of painkiller, antidepressant, stomach tablets and so on. Handy for binge drinkers, so they don't need extra tablets. That's our entertainment: "hey, let's get drunk! not to imress colleagies; just for kicks." - crazy foreigners.
