Amazon.com sells a traditional fruit basket in China. Why does this wave of operation make Chinese netizens laugh and cry?

Because the so-called traditional fruit basket in China is actually a common spittoon in China, China has never used it as a fruit basket. The reason for this oolong is that some people don't understand China culture and mistake the spittoon for a fruit basket. After publicity, everyone thinks that the spittoon in China is a fruit basket.

I. Incident

On February 21st, 221, Russian media reported that a traditional China fruit basket was on sale on Amazon. Some netizens found that the picture of the fruit basket in the report is not like a fruit basket, but like a common spittoon basin in China.

The netizen quickly went to Amazon. com for verification, and found that the seller in Amazon really sold China's spittoon as a fruit basket. Not only that, Amazon sellers also marked spittoons as? China traditional fruit basket in 196s? It can also be used as an exquisite desktop decoration, and it can even be filled with fresh food, ice cubes or wine.

What makes people laugh and cry is that the price of this spittoon in China is only 3 yuan RMB, but on Amazon. com, the price of a spittoon reaches 6 yuan RMB, and the postage is extra.

Second, netizens' views on this

Most netizens feel that this matter is particularly embarrassing, because when foreigners find out that the spittoon is not a fruit basket, will they think that this is China's deliberate plan to embarrass foreigners?

Some netizens think that this is not a good thing, because it is good to promote China culture, but to promote China culture in this way will not make China culture spread a good reputation.

third, why is there such an own goal?

The main reason is that foreigners don't understand the culture of China, and they mistakenly think that as long as there are Chinese style patterns, they are China's handicrafts, and foreigners don't know what China's fruit basket is like, so they mistake spittoons for fruit baskets.

There is only one way to avoid such an oolong, that is, to let foreigners who like China know the real China, so that such an oolong incident will not happen again.
