Those Chinese can not do better on their business in other ways such as products quality, service.

So, I think suppliers should develop products varieties, quality and service attitude to get clients purchase willings, pricing is not the only way. Shanghai price is lower, but we still will not buy from them, because their quality is bad, activity of adjusting power is cheat, service is bad. this proved pricing is not the only way to promote sale.
