Wasily Well, it’s not that strictly defined. It’s just an observation I have made over the past few years of travelling to all of them.
Beijing’s dominant outside cultural influences seem to be American, there is a rock and roll scene, hip hop and basketball styles dominate.
Shanghai is more upmarket and looks to European chic for its influences.
Hong Kong - everyone is skint because the cost of housing is so high, and also people aren’t so arriviste/nouveau riche as the mainlanders. New Balance are a natural choice.
