20 Shocking facts you didn’t know about China (With Pictures)

14. Rentable Girlfriends

If you are getting married, or know someone who has lately, you may have heard about these super cheap wedding dresses online that are sold directly from China. A $2,000 dress can be purchased for like $150. But brides must order way ahead of time, and good luck getting a refund. The dress markup goes to show how much profit is made off of clothing, because stuff in China is dirt cheap. It’s estimated that 100 million Chinese live off of less than a dollar a day. And room and board isn’t the only thing that’s cheap, “girlfriends” can be rented for mere $30 a week.
