Chinese media say up to 90 percent of the vuvuzelas sold
in South Africa during the World Cup are made in China, with local
manufacturers readying for a new boost in demand.
If those buzzing, honking vuvuzelas are marring your World Cup
experience, don't expect much sympathy from Chinese businesswoman
Gua Lili.
Gua's Guangda Toy Factory in the eastern manufacturing hub of
Yiwu has produced and shipped more than 1 million of the plastic
trumpets, whose sound has been likened to a swarm of angry bees.
Production is steaming ahead at up to 20,000 units per day.
And if you thought the noisemakers' would just fade away after
the World Cup ends next month, Gua believes demand will simply
expand.
