LA Times: In China, Alpha Males Carry Designer Purses

Indeed, pricey handbags — power purses, if you will — are often wielded for maximum effect, said Paul French, a Shanghai-based author and chief representative of the market research group Access Asia. The retail analyst said he was struck by the way many first-generation Chinese entrepreneurs used these props, leaving them unzipped just enough to whip out a gold lighter or reveal a brick of 100-yuan notes.

This picture is accurate, almost every guy in Shenzhen is carrying a handbag, satchel, or briefcase in sizes ranging from digital camera to 17 inch laptop. Vast majority: knockoffs.
I’ve explained to the girl that this is different in America, where a lot of the country will give funny looks if you wield both a bag on your hip and a dick in your pants. The LA Times is no different. With the wording, angles, and social assumptions the piece comes with, I’m surprised they didn’t title it, “Chinese Men: Bunch of Fuckin’ Queers?”
An already disgraceful publication just waiting for Death to put it out of its misery.
