Glad to see you back on the board, Silverboy. The picture at the bottom on the link below is of beer in bulk stored in my flat on the outskirts of Hohhot. It's Snow Beer of reasonable quality and cost me 900 RMB for 450 bottles. It's for my consumption.
When I chuck out a 9-pack that has been emptied down my throat, the plastic shrink-wrap is removed within a few hours by a scaffie, I presume. Recycling in China is good for the environment, but sadly the mty bottles are left at the side of the rubbish bin. That particular brand of beer's bottles must be non-returnables. A bit of a waste, really!
