Mon, 06/29/2009 - 11:32am
If there were still any doubts about capitalism's arrival in China, this puts it to rest. Wealthy mainlanders are increasingly taking to the grassy fields as polo becomes yet another mode of expression:
The founder of the Nine Dragons Hill Polo Club, today's host in fact, is Steve Wyatt. He says in China polo is becoming the perfect way to show you have made it.
"It is hats, beautiful dresses, finest champagne, whisky and people looking at the best cars," he explains.
