As temperatures drop, Yiwu's heated winter goods are booming overseas. A November 5 People's Daily report highlights how local merchants redesigned hot-water bottles with cartoon and plush "coats," making them trendy, giftable items for young buyers in Europe, South America and the Middle East. Yiwu's e-commerce platform "Yiwu Gou" recorded October hot-water-bottle sales three times September's, with factories rushing orders.
