Christmas market
China says it is now the world's largest
exporter of Christmas products.
The state-run news agency says
seven-out-of-10 artificial Christmas trees
bought by Americans are made in the southern
Chinese city of Shenzhen.
The agency says the city earns $100m
annually from artificial Christmas trees alone.
The city has 20 factories specialising in the
trees and about 300 dedicated to Christmas
products.
The agency quotes an unnamed Chinese
official as saying that the White House in
Washington has used Christmas trees from one
particular Shenzhen plant for years.
