It is always ironic to me when goods get shipped back to the country where it was made because people overseas can afford to import the goods, pay retail, and then pay to ship them back, and the people there in the country cannot easily afford and that is without export/ import taxes being added.
Different countries and pretty sure there isn't a system of capitalism in China.
Don't worry, we are doing our capitalistic best to keep the economy going at my house. There is no shortage of goods from all around the world arriving on the doorstep, and not shortage of services sources from the same local people we have used for years/ decades.
That's a micro aggression because you just assume it's a "good day" without any regard to my feelings or whether I'M having a good day!...sigh*
Naturally, I'm joking. But you see what I'm getting at

Years ago when I traveled on business, I got the impression that pretty much everyone in Asia who could went to Singapore to by things made in their own countries. Seeing Japanese buying cameras and electronics to take back home seemed crazy at first.
Even an IPad in Dubai was the same as the local store back home ( to the dollar )
Duty free is barely what it used to be........
do they still block FaceTime on portable Apple kit in Dubai? (iPhone, iPad, laptops)
I remember having to buy my iPhone in Dubai airport and ask for the European version (which cost more then the UAE version but still significantly cheaper than back in the UK)
The sales in January are still the big thing in Dubai - and it’s amazing to see the airport full of lines of folks with huge television boxes in their luggage pile.

Gday is short for “Good day to yo” so a Hi, Hello
Basically I don’t really care if your having a good or bad day and feelings well most Australians like to leave them in the back of the Ute when out and about. I’m wishing you a good day with a friendly greeting.
We have another word that fits the bill for a “Micro aggression” that works well 😉
Yes, FaceTime is still blocked as well as the telephone and video features on WhatsApp.
