Personally, I wouldn't let Bill Gates hear that, but that's another story.
The bottom line, kindnis, is that it is better to go without than to steal. I think you will find this in any culture with any moral structure. Within a few years, China will be westernized enough that you will be able to buy it there without ordering it. From what I have seen, with celluar telephones and other items, China has changed a lot since I was last there. Give it some time and you will have what you want. Don't get the instant gratification syndrome that is destroying the world.
