"We've learned to adopt certain fashion elements that are more culturally agreeable to the Chinese consumer," says Zhou.

I live in Europe where food is enjoyed but rarely abused and it pains me to see how my compatriots who come to visit stand out in any crowd not just for their sneakers and denim shorts but for their bulk.
