Replicas of Terracotta warriors made of chocolate are seen on sale in a chocolate shop in downtown Shanghai July 1, 2008. Although China's 6.46 billion yuan a year ($922 million) chocolate market is less than 1 percent of the world's total, rising wealth and the increasing influence of Western tastes are fuelling annual market growth of more than 10 percent, compared with 1 to 2 percent in Europe, according to market intelligence company Euromonitor International.
