Craftsmanship ethos takes root at Chinese firms

I didn't expect "electric cooker" to become a buzzword at the two sessions this year, given that "toilet seat" aroused heated discussions with Premier Li Keqiang at last year's event.

Perhaps it's because Chinese tourists to Japan haven't stopped their shopping spree.

It made news headlines during Spring Festival holiday last year that Chinese tourists flew several thousand kilometers to buy Japanese brand toilet seats and electric rice cookers.
