This paper explores how the Ang (De'ang), a group of Mon-Khmer-speaking people in south-west Yunnan, are involved in market exchange through sales of tea in both periodic markets and tea factories. The relationships between Ang villagers and their tea buyers reveal something of the complexity of the interactions between the kin-based gift/personal relationships and commodity relationships that are affecting the incorporation of minority people into China's socialist market economy today
