No, it was in the States but some items, like the gloves in which MJ did 
his moon walk, were bought by Chinese bidders for huge sums. I guess 
that is the difference between MJ and Mao, the maomerabilia were for the 
people, like petrol fuelled cigarette lighters, pocket knives, dairies 
etc. MJ doesn't do people, he does fans.
The Buddha does buddhists. A Dutch Buddhist organisation has recently 
declared everyone who has a Buddha statue in his house to be a Buddhist. 
We're expecting them to start handing out free Buddha statues if ever 
they need  a higher number of followers.
