I think the near past of China is so strong among this country's (of nearly 1.5 billion people) detractors that they cannot see the current dramatic changes taking place or what the near future will hold. Even the business about one child per couple will change as an ageing population will once again be in need of procreation.
I don't believe that China cannot entertain small dogs in their cities and in their apartments in large numbers and that the Chinese government, who is pouring millions of dollars into promoting dog ownership and into dog breed exhibiting etc will not establish large dog parks and other recreational facilities suitable for dogs and their owners.
About 10 years ago there were more millionaires in Mainland China (Hong Kong excluded) than the entire population of New Zealand. Today you can probably trebble that! And as I have said previously, the hugely growing middle class in China are wanting dogs as pets as one of the major wish list items.
And all this means, that whether you like it or not, Corgis will be among those breeds sought after by the Chinese middle class and millionaires.
