The other type of shopping is the type responsible for the changing socio-economic make-up of Chinese consumerism; the open market. Think of a flea market gone awry and one can imagine the open market. Also known as the night market found in several smaller Chinese cities or "bazaar", one can find most simple items here as well as food, collectibles, antiques, household goods, clothes, DVDs, CDs, and small appliances. One can also usually find a purveyor for those extra-curricular non-discretions.
It was in the late 1970's that Deng Xiao Peng allowed for economic reform by forming the Special Economic Zones encouraging open market reforms and free enterprise. One prime and common example of this liberation were tourist junk and food hawkers openly selling their wares in Tianamen Square. The open markets of Shanghai are a testament to this continued liberalization and accounts for the rise in consumerism and Chinese wealth. Unfortunately the gap between the 20%of the city dwellers and 80% rural workers (percentage with regard to total population) has jumped from fourfold in 1985 to eighty times that amount in 2001.

In Shanghai there are two methods of going about purchasing items (mai dongxi). Both are necessary to forgo because each offers items one cannot find in both places. The first route is to go shopping at a department store which offers price tagged items at a non-negotiable cost to the consumer. There are numerous "shopping malls" around Shanghai and Pudong. Often state-owned, they are filled with many domestic and imported items tastefully displayed amid uniformed store clerks and spotless waxed floors. Almost all electronics and jewelry are housed in a glass display case and even some sale-priced items are indicated by a "red" tag. Grocery stores are also laid out in similar format but unlike department stores, which are much like American counterparts, the grocery store/supermarket's inventory is completely different. I shall discuss my trip to the supermarket in another submission. The overabundance of store clerks and their lackadaisical attitude toward customers is most likely telling of two signs. One is that it is probably a state-owned enterprise and a sure-fire method for obtaining a position albeit mundane and low-paying outlook for the job prospect; the second is the low pay and lack of upward mobility that the job offers. End result?; the service is poor and the prices are comparable to those in the west, but the products are top-notch and the store honors a warranty on most products.
