China's viral Labubu toy has an unlikely fan – the ruling Communist Party
As Chinese companies ponder how best to market their products internationally, the example set by Pop Mart – the Beijing-based brand behind the viral Labubu toy – has been praised by the country's state media for the creativity that underlies its success. Advertisement The wide-mouthed, bug-eyed toy's global fan base is evidence of a shift in priorities for China as it transforms from a producer of low-value goods to a hub of innovation, Qiushi, the Communist Party's top theoretical journal, said in a commentary piece published on Wednesday. With original Chinese intellectual property capturing global attention, the country, traditionally known as the world's factory of low-end toys, 'has cultivated a robust innovation ecosystem' and 'is increasingly serving as a global incubator where seeds of creativity are sprouting everywhere', the article said. Pop Mart, which is listed in Hong Kong, collaborates with a range of artists and designers to produce toy characters including Molly and Dimoo. Labubu, its most popular product by far, was designed by Hong Kong–born artist Kasing Lung. The company said its overseas and Hong Kong-Macau-Taiwan revenue rose 375 per cent last year to 5 billion yuan (US$695.5 million), accounting for nearly 40 per cent of its total revenue. Advertisement Likening Labubu's success to other globally acclaimed Chinese products including the blockbuster video game Black Myth: Wukong and the animated film Ne Zha 2, the Qiushi commentary said: 'Labubu's popularity is a vivid testament to Chinese companies' commitment to long-term innovation and the growing global recognition of Chinese creative products.' The plush toy has been so popular that it has spawned a wave of counterfeit products, known as 'Lafufu' – with the f standing for fake. On social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, 'How to tell a Labubu from a Lafufu?' has become a viral topic.

Rare Labubu toy figures up for auction: Pharrell Williams' Joopiter site to offer Sacai-dressed special editions in collaboration with K-pop band Seventeen
The Labubu craze has reached new heights with a four-foot (1.2 metre) model of the plush toy fetching a price of 1.08 million yuan (US$150,260) at auction. On June 10, the teal character – 'the only piece of its kind in the world', according to Beijing Yongle International Auction, fetched the eye-watering sum at a sale held in China's capital. It was offered alongside other Labubu paraphernalia, including a brown model that sold for 820,000 yuan.

The rabbit-like figures sporting mischievous toothy grins began as a character created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, and are made by Beijing-based toy brand Pop Mart.

The global frenzy for the figures is now to be further fuelled by the coming high fashion collaboration. The latest Labubu auction is a blind box limited to 14 pieces: 13 boxes contain Labubu dressed in beige Sacai jumpsuits, while the 14th box, kept secret, is decorated uniquely, paying homage to one of Pharrell Williams' favourite Sacai creations.

The sale will feature 14 exclusive 'Pop Mart x How2work green edition' Labubus from The Monsters series, all dressed in Sacai, with 13 of them representing K-pop group Seventeen's members, plus one secret, Pharrell-inspired model.

Why people love Hong Kong-style egg waffles and best places to eat them
Hong Kong-style egg waffles are one of the city's most beloved street snacks. Advertisement Called gai daan zai – 'little chicken eggs' – in Cantonese and also simply 'egg puffs' in English, these golden treats have been around in Hong Kong since the 1950s. Unlike Western waffles, which have a grid-like pattern, Hong Kong's egg waffles are covered in small oval-shaped bubbles, which may have inspired the name 'little eggs'. The batter is typically made with eggs, flour, sugar and evaporated milk. When cooked just right, the waffle has a thin, crispy layer on the outside and a deliciously contrasting soft and chewy texture inside, as well as little air pockets where the 'bubbles' are.

Advertisement 'I used to beg my mom for egg waffles after school,' says Queenie Chan, a 46-year-old Hongkonger who still buys them occasionally to relive her childhood memories.
