Does anyone not see the irony in this?

Americans reduced to buying "Made in China" crap while the average Chinese shopper spends $5700.00 per shopping spree while in London.

That's interesting. How much is toilet paper or 9mm FMJ ammunition at Harrod's?

Yes, The average Chinese shopper that visits Harrods. Why do you find that so unbelievable?

UK stores making Chinese shoppers feel at home

According to its figures, Chinese shoppers each spent an average of more than 3,500 pounds ($5,700) when they visited the store during the period, a 40 percent rise year-on-year.

BTW...I did not say that every American shops at Walmart (I don't), but many that do, now have no choice due to our screwed up economy which places such as Walmart and their policies have contributed to.

Also, I'm quite sure that the Walmart family also shops at places like Harrods as opposed to Walmart.
