Buy, buy shopper.
That appears to be the motto for some tour guides in Hong Kong, according to the China’s National Tourism Adminstration.
An undated video of Chinese tourists being forced to buy things in Hong Kong shops has ignited outrage on the mainland, according to media reports. Now the NTA in China has issued a very stern letter of disapproval to Hong Kong, warning it to stop such bad behavior or, or, or it might issue another letter.
Actually, the NTA issued a travel advisory after hearing of the video and following up on the rumor that a 65 year old Chinese man died of a heart attack in Hong Kong after being forced to shop, according to Xinhu News.
Shopping could be the price some tourists pay for such good deals to Hong Kong, Xinhu points out. The 
trips are subsidized by the travel agency, which then collects a percentage of sales dollars from shops that it takes the tourists to. It’s an ancient scam first done by Egyptians when Phoenician tourists would sale in to Alexandria for papyrus.
Since then, it’s been modernized.
We’re unsure if some Chinese tourists are asking: How much for that freedom in the window? Which, since Hong Kong now belongs to China again, has gotten quite expensive.
