>>I saw a special on walmart in china - they were selling live turtles and such in the stores, walmart adapted to thier food choices, it didn't seem the other way around, that the chinese consumers were buying western walmart type foods ...<< Shades, you are right. Not many Chinese are interested in "western walmart type foods"<g>. Ask the Chinese immigrants here in the US, I bet you will find majority of them go to Chinese restaurants more often, and cook Chinese cuisine all the time<g>. Chinese culture is die-hard<g>. And I have to give credit to the flexibility of those US companies<g> doing business in China. They almost always adept to local Chinese taste as long as they can make money<g> If you go to local McDonald or KFC, you can see plenty of Chinese flavors. So sometimes Chinese are wondering, are they selling western fast food or Chinese fast food?<g>
