Response

Hi! I wanted to respond on your talk page. I actually answered a similar question from one of your groupmates, so I'd definitely look at the notes I left them on their talk page as well.

To answer your question, I think that how the section should be will depend on the sourcing you find. I do think, however, that the section shouldn't be on US vs China. I would instead recommend that the section be retitled "American fast food chains in China". This is more inclusive and also takes into consideration the part of the fast food industry in China that isn't American chains. Don't forget, there are definitely Chinese fast food chains. For example, if you look at the stores in the category page on the Category:Fast-food chains of China, you'll see chains that started in China like Juewei Duck Neck and Country Style Cooking. It also looks like the Yi Li restaurant was the first Chinese fast food store, at least according to sources like this (in Chinese, but I found it to be readable with Google Translate). I found this by locating the Chinese for the store name (义利快餐厅) and then doing a search with Google Translate. If you have anyone that is fluent in Chinese it'd definitely be easier to search, though. Reliable sources are definitely important, however, as you want to make sure that this is true and not just a case of someone remembering things wrong due to a common misconception.

In any case, I definitely think that it would be good to look at how Western chains have had to adapt to a new market. I know that some companies are effectively completely revamped from their Western counterparts. Mister Donut started off as an American franchise but is vastly different than what it used to be, after it went international. It's taken off in Japan and stretched to China, where it also seems to be popular.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:34, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
