BEIJING — In Beijing’s Silk Street Market, under a huge billboard that cries, “Shop with Confidence!”, foreigners mill through a disproportionately Western mob of shoppers who look mostly dazed and confused. “This is too overwhelming!” one young western woman cries with a loony chuckle as she races through the narrow aisle.

Try handbag: Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Burberry.” Another man in the corner looks with disbelief at the offer punched in a calculator: “420 for those pants? Is that in Euro?”
