A sale of $115 billion last year for a 1 day event is pretty crazy. Singles has too much money. How i envy them when my wallet is in control of my wife.
Jokes aside, they probably still make huge profits this year but doesn't dare to boast about it in order to keep a low profile.

Communist-controlled commercialized consumerism. Interesting. They never taught us about this in college.

I still find it bizarre that the most money-obsessed nation in the world is ostensibly Communist.

It is Alibaba to change the "single day" to "shopping day". Then we will have double 12 soon and 618 by JingDong. They just give you a reason of shopping once you wanna have one.

The entire country is one big Squid Game.
