Hi Sunny! Clothes is the proper word, I have never seen an english speaker actually use the world 'accouterments' before. Well, thats alright. You see, without a minimum wage, the salary of the average Chinese worker is not grossly inflated, like it is in the USA. Sure, your brother makes $300 in one month, but he can buy much cheaper things in China as well. The only problem you come across is when you try to buy American products, made with lots of silly government regulations and with people getting paid far more than they should, due to a locally inflated currency. Either the US will get wise to the idea that economic protectionism sets the country up for economic disaster, or we'll have an economic disaster I certainly hope my countrymen realize which way is the good way.
