50 new retail stores and of course the iconic check, some of which is manufactured there
Three years after Burberry transferred production from its Treorchy, Wales factory to China--which became the infamous poster-child of U.K. manufacturing's flight to Asia--the Chinese continue to repay the favour at the tills.
On the mainland, Burberry has just finished buying out its franchise partner in China and bringing those 50 stores into its retail operations, which should add £20 million to operating profit in fiscal 2012.
And while they're overseas, Chinese tourists now account for 30% of the company's London sales. The Chinese are also the number one customer in many parts of Europe as well, according to Burberry CFO Stacey Cartwright.
Burberry, in return, has at least one Mandarin speaker at each of its flagship stores around the world.
A good thing given how many times they must have to say xie xie

Why did China, India and Brazil all emerge so much more rapidly from the global financial crisis than advanced economies did?
In a presentation in Denver to the National Association for Business Economics, Nobel Prize-winning economist Michael Spence, now of New York University, offered several reasons:
* These economies learned bitter lessons in the 1997-98 crisis that afflicted them more than advanced economies.
* They were in 'a good initial position' with relatively low leverage, and thus didn't get hit with the severe 'balance sheet recession' that hit the U.S.
* They hadn't any complex securitized financial instruments.
* They had built up large foreign-exchange reserves.
* Their central banks responded, much as advanced countries' central banks did, with speed and agility to the credit tightening.
* Their economic managers displayed 'a high degree of competence.'
'Is this sustainable? Will they keep growing? I think the answer is a qualified yes,' he said. 'I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago.'
Rapidly growing economies aren't generating the ideas and technology to propel growth; rather, they're using ideas and technology from advanced countries to catch up.
'There is no reason to believe that will stop,' he said, unless emerging markets make the major mistake of walling them off from the rest of the world, as Brazil did around 1975.
Adding to the sustainability of growth in emerging markets are two other factors, he said: One, they are increasingly trading with each other and thus are less dependent on now slow-growing advanced economies; two, they have become rich enough for their consumers to buy the goods they produce. Spence said that emerging markets can sustain rapid growth even if the advanced economies, including the U.S, grow slowly - but not if the U.S. succumbs to recession.
'There is partial decoupling, but by no means complete decoupling,' he said.
But emerging markets have proven to be far more resilient to downturns in the U.S. than used to be the case.
He added that emerging markets have a large stake in discouraging protectionism in the U.S., and 'they know it.'
Continued rapid growth in emerging markets will be a plus for the U.S., but not a big enough plus to pull up U.S. growth, he said. 'We can't compete for that demand right now,'

Brazil's highest number of votes elected to Congress clown
Handout undated photo released by Tiririca's press campaign office of Brazilian newly elected federal deputy Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, known as clown Tiririca. Tiririca scooped up 1.3 million votes in Sunday's polls to represent Sao Paulo, the highest number of votes for any federal deputy across the country.
Voters the world over complain about having clowns for politicians, but Brazilians embraced the idea on Sunday by sending a real one to Congress with more votes than any other candidate.
Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, better known by his clown name Tiririca, received more than 1.3 million votes in Sao Paulo state in Brazil's presidential and congressional elections. That was more than double the votes of the second-placed candidate in Brazil's most populous state.
Tiririca caught the attention of disillusioned voters by asking for their support with the humorous slogan: "It can't get any worse" and a promise to do nothing more in Congress than report back to them on how politicians spend their time.
"What does a congressman do? The truth is I don't know, but vote for me and I'll tell you," the 45-year-old said in his campaign advertisements.
The clown, whose stage name means "grumpy," usually appears in public wearing a blond wig, a red hat and a garish outfit. He survived a last-minute attempt by public prosecutors to bar him from running because of evidence that he is illiterate.
His candidacy may not have been as spontaneous or innocent as it might appear.
Tiririca's well-financed campaign will help elect other politicians because under Brazil's election rules he can pass his substantial excess votes on to other candidates in his coalition, which includes the ruling Workers' Party.
