As if China needs to get any bigger, its 1.3 billionth citizen recently entered the world and has been showered with advertising spokesbaby offers. In a uniquely smart and very un-American move, the baby’s father, Zhang Tong has turned down all offers except one which provides insurance to his child saying, “It’s lucky to be China’s 1.3 billionth citizen.
