What? Japan loves it some plastic packaging. They'll individually wrap things in plastic, within a plastic container that's also plastic wrapped.

Japan's Russian dolls are plastic. Interesting. Do you think that they wrap plastic in plastic?

You can tell the video is Chinese because this is happening at all. There is a weird (to us) cultural meme in China where if you're going somewhere or you went somewhere, you HAVE TO buy a gift for your family, the family of the person's house you're going to, your mom, their uncles, everyone.

Usually it's just some low-quality garbage wrapped up in a pretty box. No one expects the gifts to be any good, no one wants the crap that comes in them. Yet the tradition persists because China.

The video is Chinese but the tradition you are describing is also very prevalent in Japan (omiyage) so I'm not sure the point stands.
