Did you do lots of shopping on Double 11 this year also known as Singles’ Day? It’s China’s biggest online shopping holiday and is something of an equivalent to Black Friday in the US — but with much bigger sales numbers.

But is Singles’ Day still the culture phenomenon it once was, where if you have not participated, you feel left out? Are some people starting to lose interest? Is there an end in sight for China’s apparent obsession with such mass retail therapy?

This is an encore episode where Yajun and Jingjing discuss the buy, buy, buy culture in China.
