    Overpackaging has become a huge problem in the USA, it seems China is simply copying it. Or perhaps since many of the products available in the USA are made/packaged in China, the requirements that the USA market has demanded are carrying over into the Chinese market.

    the video addresses a valid concern but the amateuristic style and "humoristic" antics make it unwatchable for me, i'm sorry. over-packaging as it is presented in the first port of the video is only part of the problem i think. everything, not just food and candy, is wrapped or packaged at least once in plastic in shanghai. the amount of plastic i have to throw away after a visit to the dry-cleaner, for example, is crazy. anyway.. raising more awareness is good i guess.
