Amid their enthusiastic embrace of western consumer 
For reasons practical as well as cultural, most Chinese consumers simply don't like clothes dryers. Don't want them. Don't trust them. Won't buy them. And even when they have them around, won't use them.
Business interests complain, in the article, that the dryer market isn't "fully developed". A PRC domestic brand "stopped producing dryers since last year because they don't sell." The only people in China interested in dryers seem to be foreigners and Chinese who have lived overseas.
This is, evidently, something bad.
