Fast food in China
Fast food in China refers to the quick service food industry that has seen a rapid growth in China over the past few decades. The industry is characterized by its speed of service, affordability, and convenience. It includes both Western-style fast food chains, such as McDonald's and KFC, and Chinese-style fast food chains, such as Yonghe King and Kungfu.
History
The history of fast food in China can be traced back to the opening up of the Chinese economy in the late 1970s. The first Western fast food chain to enter the Chinese market was KFC, which opened its first outlet in Beijing in 1987. This was followed by McDonald's, which opened its first outlet in Shenzhen in 1990.
Western-style fast food chains
Western-style fast food chains have been successful in China due to their adaptation to local tastes and preferences. For example, KFC in China offers a variety of Chinese dishes, such as rice congee and tree fungus salad, in addition to its standard fried chicken offerings. Similarly, McDonald's in China offers items such as taro pies and red bean sundaes, which cater to local tastes.
Chinese-style fast food chains
Chinese-style fast food chains, such as Yonghe King and Kungfu, offer quick service versions of traditional Chinese dishes. These chains have been successful due to their familiarity with local tastes and their ability to offer a wide variety of dishes at affordable prices.
Impact on Chinese society
The rise of fast food in China has had a significant impact on Chinese society. It has contributed to the increasing pace of life in urban areas, as well as changes in eating habits and lifestyles. However, it has also been associated with increasing rates of obesity and other health issues.
