Oh well, all those years in the US Navy and I never got to got into China. The closest was to the border when we would visit Hong Kong and I did buy a "Chairman Mao" hat and one of his books which I'll never read. I noticed that all the men, even laborers wear custom fitted trousers and they seem to last forever! I tended to stand out as my hair was red back then (now grey) and I had a red mustache. I noted most were shorter than me except the folks from way up in northern China who tended to be tall.
