When people saw the price, they stopped caring about that. This has been the case of Hong Kong.

price makes no fucking difference whether or not it comes from a sweatshop. especially fucking clothes

Sweatshop is probably true, but I'm telling you, you just cannot resist the price as a consumer. Tooth filling for 29 HKD (3.7 USD), you just can't beat that.

Hongkonger are extremely realistic and practical. Price low? Use it
