China, Christmas has become big business for Chinese manufacturers in recent years – and not just because of the huge volume of toys, consumer electronics and gift items produced and shipped worldwide from the Middle Kingdom.

June and July are typically the months when buyers from around the world head for places like Yiwu to purchase their supplies of Christmas trees, decorations and lights. But, as the attached article from the UK-based The Guardian newspaper reveals, Santa’s stocking may be a little emptier than expected this year
