TOKYO -- Chinese shoppers, once known for their "explosive" buying habit, are spending less in Japan. But their appetite and admiration for Japanese goods has not died down -- it just shifted online.
Song Lei, a 33-year-old banker in Dalian, Liaoning Province, loves shopping overseas. She has visited Japan three times and spent over 2 million yen ($19,864) while shopping there, including a Canon single-lens reflex camera and a Panasonic rice cooker.
