It’s KFC. It’s a taste of America. I remember people lined up around the block when the first KFC opened, even though it’s says right there on the label it might give you obesity and diabetes.

KFC now is very different than its initial menu. A lot of Chinese elements in KFC. That's why they are still successful in china compared to some other fast food joints
That wasn’t no layoff; that was a termination!
True and smart move by KFC. But there’s plenty of domestic fast food joints serving 100% localized dishes. So not sure if that’s what made KFC so successful.
Agreed, same with all these niche (internationally speaking) American franchises. Popeyes, Wendy's, Taco Bell. Even Burger King and KFC are pretty average when it comes to the things they're supposed to be good at.
Mcdonalds are still the king of American fast food.

This is not good. American fast food is basically poison. The ludicrous amount of sugar, sodium, saturated fats, and other bad things in American fast food is going to have terrible effects on the bodies of Chinese people in the coming years. Of course, eating fast food once in a while isn't too bad for your health.
It’s couping time!
There are many successful Chinese fast food joints. Just because you never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.

But it's a sign that the Chinese economy is doing reasonable well. Sheesh, do not tell the following story to NYT's Paul Krugman either, let him keep daydreaming.
Of course Krugman is wrong again. There is no sign of financial distress in China. In fact, the Chinese government is not even intervening with the valuation of RMB at the moment.
Koreans should know their history.
