(all Walmart merchandise is three to ten times cheaper than in US).

Not quite. When I was there (GuangZhou and Beijing, both in the last 4 years), appliances and electronics were all the same or slightly higher than US prices for similar brands and makes. Where you save the most in China is when you're buying labor-intensive things... like car repairs, housing additions, etc. Amazing how much cheaper they are there!!

Go closer to Russian border and pick local brands and makes.
