A good briefing on the effect new Chinese labor regulations are having on HK factories across the border.  BUT what I found most interesting was this little bit of data:

[…] the average woman in the US and Europe will own six bras and eight pairs of underpants and buy two bras and five pairs of underpants a year.

In Japan, the average young woman buys 30 bras and 65 pairs of underpants a year.

wtf do Japanese women do with all that underwear…
