Black Friday Explained to the World

A Taiwanese news animator illustrates what America's Black Friday is all about and why it's important for Asia that Americans come out to shop. The news animator writes, "Black Friday is the most important shopping day of the year in the United States. Big bargains are to be had and the one-day extravaganza brings out the competitive spirit in American consumers."

It further explains, "Black Friday is enormously important to Asia and its export-dependent economies. If Americans don’t keep buying, it won’t be a good Lunar New Year for us just a few months later."
