Why Santa is not Christmas Shopping in China Like He Used to

Santa isn't doing as much of his Christmas shopping in China as he used to.

An officer in Guangdong said that the province's Christmas exports is up just 1.7% over last year.

However, exports were up 22% from 2001 to 2002, then up 25% from 2002 to 2003.

After that, the exports started to decline, dropping 20% in 2004 and another 2% in 2005.
