Dragon Mart is the biggest Chinese shopping mall outside the Chinese mainland: it is 1.2km (0.75miles) long and contains 3,950 shops. Here you can buy everything from mock Roman pillars to "development cream for the intimate parts of man", tablet computers to mobile phones shaped like handguns. The Dragon Mart provides an insight into a different world: of Chinese-owned companies that are injecting their cut-price products into the world's commercial bloodstream, often via the Dragon Marts springing up across the Middle East and Africa. It would be foolish to dismiss these frugal Chinese manufacturers. They cater for the world's most exciting group of consumers, the emerging middle class, a group that McKinsey, a consultancy, estimates includes two billion people who spend $6.9 trillion a year. The Dragon Mart is evidence of the symbiotic relationship between state and entrepreneurial capitalism.
