Chinese delegation in Moscow orders massive amount of KFC

[mike2000 is back]

They become less and less and even Macdonalds Chinese operation had been sold to China for several years already, but one thing you are right, China was pro west too in the past, but everyone can see it's no more now, thank to US recent anti China policies.

McDonald's gives up control of its China business in $2 billion deal

McDonald's is selling off most of its China business to a massive Chinese financial firm and a U.S. private equity giant.

Dude that's 2017 news. Do you live in the past? Lol Mc Donald's is still in China and also largely invested by private US equity group carlyle Group Inc
Like @Hamartia Antidote posted, Not only are they in China but they are growing even larger and expanding more. Seems Chinese are fond of American fast food chains. Lol
Mc Donald's alone made over billions of dollar in China alone last year and they are estimated to make even more this year. That's just one American fast food chain brand..I'm not counting other US companies operating and also making tens/hundreds of billions there.

McDonald's sets to open 900 stores in lower-tier Chinese cities

McDonald's disclosed its expansion plan on 1 February, with a record figure of 900 stores set to open this year in China’s lower-tier cities.

To be honest US/Western companies have made(and are still making) alot of money from China. Reason Isome are not really keen on the US trying to contain China so much. Lots of money to be made there. However I understand geopolitical interets can often superceded financial greed as well.

To most Chinese, nothing has changed, most Chinese don't even know McDonald's China had been changed hands.

I think KFC can handle it.

KFC does make delicious food here in India, I order regularly from them.
Their Veg burgers are as delicious as their chicken burgers, and they even have biryani too. Yummy.

I agree US fast food is better than Russian fast food. Russia used to be pro west and has lots of western chains, it unmistakenly shows how stupid US is to lose this big market.

Europe is a bigger market than Russia. How stupid of Putin to lose European markets ?

Russia doesn't have any international brands so they don't care.

serving Mr @beijingwalker his own logic

We prefer Chinese food. But if there is no Chinese food, American fast food such as KFC is indeed better than Russian fast food.

I like Americanized version of Chinese food too

 

[Yaoudelizard]

Lol Americans so proud about chicken, must be at a new low point. You wanna check where your phone is made since China bad? Why are you giving them your money?

I have literally never heard anyone from China bad mouth western food, other than say the fried foods are unhealthy, which is objectively a true statement.

Besides, fried chicken is delicious, I don't know why the delegation is being dunked on when they haven't really said anything against US fast food.

By the way, I think it's best for British people not to discuss food. English food is the worst.

There is no such thing as British food
They call fish and chips or beans and ham as British food lol

 

[KAL-EL]

Not a fast food person, but yeah, KFC is pretty good. Popeye's not bad either.
