I thought American media had gone infomerical-crazy....some of the Chinese TV channels, for an entire morning, broadcast infomercials selling lotions that enlarge breasts, whiten skin, remove age spots, pills & racks & space-age goggles (I kid you not) to make people grow taller, straighten spines, and electronic devices that strap around waists to trim fat. One informacial showed a woman interviewing 3 men asking if they prefer women with white skin or dark skin. They all said they prefer white skin, which, of course, is why women should "buy their product". The "before/after" shots of the women's faces would've been convincing had the "before" shot not been shot in the shade. Not surprisingly, like the U.S., much of China is becoming obsessed with looking good.
