3 would it work in China?
I think it doesn’t work in China because for Chinese traditional. Usually it is women to do the housework and most of the men are lazy so if they see the commercial I think they are not so interested to do the housework. So especially after they have married.
Before you get married you want to attract the girl and after they get married they become lazy.
