KM, More than likely they have made their own version of the Wonder Bra and are marketing it. You would be amazed at the software you can buy in Hong Kong almost free and bootleg. Most of the companies that have entered into production agreements with the Chinese will regret it. The Chinese play to win. If you have ever been to the Red Chinese border and read the warning signs about wandering into their territory and watched their friendly border guards you will be very glad they have no power over you.

OT: I think if SLE had done some research on Chinese culture, they would not have spent big bucks in this kind industry of sexual appeals in China. "Sexy", by no means, is a flatterring word in Chinese culture. If anything, it still has a lot of negative meaning associated with it. In most cases, women are not being viewed as sexual objects in modern China. So there is no "functional" need for Chinese women wear wonder ...<g>. Although that does not mean no market for it, it just won't have a big market as it has in Western culture. FWIW.
