Taobao is China’s answer to Amazon. With over a billion products, it is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces. The listings are eclectic—one can buy groceries, electronics, tchotchkes, and even hire someone to argue for you.
In this new series, Taobao Unboxing, we go hunting for the best deals under $30 on the Chinese platform. In our first episode, we tried to recreate a yakitori bar at home using only products bought on Taobao.
(Taobao is a product of Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post, the parent company of Goldthread.)
