This opened my eyes because the Chinese international students in my university (the only contact I have with people from that country) buy the most extravagant stuff. I&#x27;m somewhat knowledgeable about fashion brands, and I see them wear what would amount to $1000+ in outfits daily. And that&#x27;s just clothing I recognize. &quot;Wanting to own everything&quot; (that is trendy!) is a common stereotype of them in my university. That said, in general they&#x27;re humble and nice.<p>Guess I&#x27;m only getting exposed to the Chinese 1%, so thanks for this article.
