Vocativ: A Video The Chinese Government Would Prefer That You Not See

Yesterday's post was so popular we thought we'd go back to the same well and see what else is there to dig up and exploit for the pleasure of you, the Tattler reader. And we did hit pay dirt. The creator of that highly popular video footage about the McMansion Mistresses of Arcadia is an outfit called Vocativ. An operation that apparently covers the affairs of the Chinese super-rich in America, but with a world audience in mind. With over 1 million hits, the video we're linking up with today obviously has created some real global interest. A lot of people are following what is happening here.

Today we are pleased to be bringing this latest video to you who, along with my cheerful self, are decidedly not a prime target audience.

Now you might be wondering why The Tattler would claim that this is a video the Chinese government does not wish for you to see. It does seem a bit presumptuous, and to think that would show a reasonable amount of skepticism on your part. But see, you haven't watched any of it yet. Here is how Vocativ puts it in the video itself:

"We got invited to where they meet up, but didn't know what to expect. The Chinese government is touchy about people seeing how the children of the Chinese elite play. Therefore they try and keep a relatively low profile."

So let's check out this video of the not so proletarian youth of that so-called People's Republic consuming expensive western products, shall we? It is called "Chinese Kids Driving Supercars: Inside the Secret Southern California Meet-up." The link is found just below this picture:

Votiv has their own description of the incredibly wealthy children of China's super elite, along with their $400,000 automobiles. Here is what they have to say:

China’s ultra-rich are growing in number and in wealth - and are sending billions of dollars out of the country. Much of it is landing up in the U.S. where many children of the wealthy elite are sent to get an American college education — and they’re living large. Vocativ found a sub-culture of these Chinese students in California. They drive luxury cars like Maseratis and Ferraris and flaunt their wealth at discreet private parties and in online groups, like "Super Cars in America”.

As we try and get a better understanding of what is going on in Arcadia, and how the presence of so much money there could very well threaten the American middle class lifestyle of Sierra Madre, it is important that we examine each and every thing that is available to us. Especially videos like this one.

After all, the children of China's super-elite are now our new next door neighbors. Along with daddy's mistress.
