I China’d hard
Share.
I’d be more nervous bringing this through TSA than I would be for a bag of weed
lol, i connected through S.Korea and i was a bit nervous having that North Korea mag in my carryon bag.
I love the little soldier figure.
Was sort of wondering how they’re doing in the battle to develop adorable, merchandisable government mascots. They can’t leave the space totally open to Japan!
I think the rabbit cartoon is pretty good tbh
And obviously pandas are eternal
That pic in the middle…
Chairman bin Laden
That one is chill as fuck, it says ‘Nothing is impossible’ in Chinese with a pic of Bin Laden and the smoking twin towers in the background. Got it from a random souvenir shop in Hangzhou.
here is a close up:
IMPOSSIBLE LS NOTHING
(GOOD post btw)
You should buy a bunch of these and turn them to stickers, and whenever you see a parked car with an american flag/military sticker on it, put this on top of it
The bin laden one holy shit
This is sick as helllllllll
Peak taobao haul
Where did you go lol these are not normal Chinese souvenirs
The big stuff in the middle is mostly from the propaganda poster museum in Shanghai, the lighter/matches were from a souvenir shop in Hanghzhou, most of the Mao stuff/hats/magnets were from random trinket/souvenir stores in the various cities I visited, the red paper cutout art of famous commies was from a random art stand in Shanghai. Little red books (one English, one Chinese) was from a cool book store in Zhujaijao.
I am ashamed to admit that the merch i got on my china trip mostly consists of… checks notes… hatsune miku, jjk, and sanrio merch… oops.
these rule
does the one with the fruit have a source? It’s amazing
It is a tote bag from the propaganda poster museum in Shanghai. The pic depicts the strong Sino-Soviet friendship at the time! Those ones are really sad in hindsight.
here is a but of info I just found on it through google, may be a reactionary source, not sure.
