在中国发展论坛上，一位政府部长指出，去年一百万中国出境游客刷信用卡购买了价值大约十亿美元的国内买不到的商品（并且讽刺地指出了其中一些欧洲和美国品牌实际上为中国制造 ） 。
One government minister at the CDF noted that the one million Chinese tourists who went abroad last year used their credit cards to buy about $1 billion worth of goods that they cannot obtain at home (while noting the irony that some of those European and American branded goods are actually manufactured in China).
