What an adorable little man!
I agree that seeing how he responds to handling in the shop will give you a better idea of how he might behave but they can be quite different once you get them home, most Chinese will tame readily with a gentle approach & some patience.
I have a boy who had been in the pet shop a long time but it really didn't make as much difference as I had expected, I also have a female who I found quite unexpectedly in a pet shop & she was hiding in a cardboard tube & no way she was coming out for anyone but she's tamed really well so you never really know!
The boys do tend to be a bit more laid back than the girls though & as Fluffagrams said they can actually be quite lazy, no quite so hyper as the females who can be a bit of a handful but very enjoyable & rewarding pets once you get to know them & their ways.
Look forward to hearing how it goes with this one.
