Chinese Demand Bigger Bras

(Shanghai, China) According to a report issued by the Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology, Chinese bra manufacturers are being forced to offer larger cup sizes because women's average chest measurements have been busting records.

From Courier-Mail:

"It's so different from the past when most young women would wear A- or B-cup bras," Triumph brand saleswoman Zhang Jing told the Shanghai Daily from the Landmark Plaza of China's commercial hub.

"You . . . never expect those thin women to have such nice figures if they are not plastic."

The report, seen on the daily's website on today, said that the Hong Kong-based lingerie firm Embry Group no longer produces A-cups for larger chest circumferences and has increased production of C-, D- and E-cup bras to meet pressing demand.

In my estimation, this shouldn't be a big problem to resolve. Furthermore, the 'pressing demand' could likely be a sales opportunity for American manufacturers who have been known (probably NSFW) to market F-, G-, and H-cup sizes.

The new phenomenon of 'nice figures' on Chinese women has been attributed to better nutrition resulting from an increased standard of living. This has been brought about by a growing economy sustained by massive foreign trade with the U.S., largely via Wal-Mart. As a result, an assumption can be made that every sale at a Wal-Mart store, which promotes trade with the Chinese and improves their standard of living, also indirectly produces larger breasts in China.
