not just marketing, there needs to be a fairly sophisticated logistics chain and QC system supporting a successful grocery store chain. H-Mart for example has done this pretty successfully in the US whereas US Chinese grocery stores have as of now been limited to fairly local mom and pop stores.

I can’t speak for the US, but definitely in Canada there are some substantial chains. Logistics and professional management is not an issue.

Here is a monster Chinese/international supermarket that opened just outside the downtown core of Toronto

Note that they are able to open such a huge store due to a real estate vacancy created by the closure of Target Canada.

There is also Seafood City in the US and Canada, it is a Filipino supermarket chain, but the owner/CEO is Carlos Go, whose surname most likely indicates Hokkienese-origin (Wu). Again, real estate played a part as this chain took advantage of some Big Box store closures in the Toronto-area (In this case the closure of Future Shop which was acquired by Best Buy and closed these surplus spaces)

A lot of copium and hopium, I don't believe its a single digit drop as the article mentioned more likely a double digit and the claimed that the US market can able to absorb the loses is incredible and on what evidence? US consumer is having a hard time with inflation, with company cutting jobs and depress commercial real estate, where is the confidence to spend on an expensive Iphone? Ahhhh!!!! I forgot maybe those made in India. ;)
Anyone could have foreseen this, once Apple started trying to shift production from China to India. Seems no one wants faecal matter with their iPhones even if it is for the sake of “FREEDUMB”.

Honestly, all these Chinese opening small supermarkets and shops in Africa and other less developed countries is not ideal. I hope we see the emergence of a major brand like Walmart / Aeon sweeping across the developing world instead. One of the big problems is Chinese retail has pretty bad marketing
There was a good one in Toronto/Markham/Richmond Hill called T&T but the owners sold it to Weston family. There's also Foody Mart which is a Chinese supermarket.

Do you all remember a time where all news reporting have a ticker showing color codes foe terror threat level? How convenient was it that when China threat became the thing in America and the west, the threat magically disappeared along with the ticker? Anyone noticed that?

According to ASPI, Australia should get 18 SSNs because it needs to be able to deploy 2 subs in 2 oceans simultaneously. Also, British SSN readiness problems are caused by the UK having too few SSNs rather than recruitment and maintenance problems. The writer is a retired submarine specialist (whatever that is).

ASPI is paid by and speaks for the Military-Industry-Complex.

China will host the BRI forum tomorrow, for which more than 140 countries will attend. The rousing success of the BRI pains the clown to no end.

indeed, and how remarkable for a coloniser racially supremacist society to balk at war against a fellow caucasoid nation like Russia but all too eager for a race war against China to keep uppity asians in their place.

white supremacy is the guiding ideology and religion of the west. If the French could guarantee white western supremacy uber alles, the Americans would follow them instead.
