Hey Bro - I just had another thought on this after remembering a conversation I had with a large group of friends - ABC's, CBC's, Taiwanese, Singaporean and of course Hong Kong guys.
The general consensus was that since the Hong Kong AND Taiwan mongers had always comprised the largest majority of mongers in CP, we had basically dictated the mores and norms here. We ARE the pickiest, the most particular and demanding as to our requirements - and thus laid the ground rules which other visitors now also enjoy. We trained them for you all!!!
Please also note that Local PRC natives do NOT monger in Chang Ping - and the reason is that Locals consider CP to be way below their standards. This is historically based, going back to the 90's when Chang Ping had been THE place for Hong Kong-China Cross borders truck-drivers to overnight at ...and to keep their mistresses and girl friends at and of course to party whilst their trucks are being loaded up with goods.
In those days, the borders closed at midnight and those Truck drivers with dual HK/China driving licenses (not that many then - and just about ALL Hong kong based) were making serious money - anywhere up to HK$40,000/month; and remember, the HK$ was then worth a lot more vs. the RMB! And if you think Hong Kong guys nowadays are sometimes over the top, please imagine how these Hong Kong truck drivers were back then!!
The Taiwanese factory managers had also been early connoisseurs of the delights of CP - followed by their bargain hunting brethren coming over on organized tours (XGX was the earliest agent working CP I think) eager to partake of the best that China had to offer!!
Anyway, we're all here to enjoy ourselves...so lets ALL just enjoy this Man's paradise for as long as we ALL still can.
