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

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

I. What happened?

On February 2, 20021day, Russian media reported that a traditional China fruit basket was being sold on Amazon. Some netizens found that the picture of the fruit basket in the report is not like a fruit basket, but rather like a common spittoon basin in China.

The netizen hurried to the Amazon website for verification, and found that the seller of Amazon really sold China's spittoon as a fruit basket. Not only that, Amazon sellers also marked the spittoon as? China traditional fruit basket in 1960s? 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 30 yuan RMB, but it is on Amazon. The price of a spittoon reaches RMB in 600 yuan, and the postage is extra.

Second, netizens' views on this.

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

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

Third, why is there such an oolong?

Mainly because foreigners don't understand China culture, they mistakenly think that as long as there is a pattern with Chinese style, it is a handicraft in China. Foreigners don't know what the fruit basket in China is like, so they mistake the spittoon for a fruit basket.

There is only one way to avoid such an oolong, and that is to let foreigners who like China know the real China, so that such an oolong incident will never happen again.
