The entry of these two American fast-food giants brought not only new dining options but also new consumption concepts and lifestyles. They represented a fast-paced, convenient lifestyle and had a significant impact on China's catering industry, promoting upgrades and development within the domestic sector. They also stimulated the growth of related industries, such as supply chains, logistics, and real estate.
However, the arrival of American fast food has also sparked controversy. Issues surrounding food safety, nutritional health, and cultural impact have fueled public discussions. Nevertheless, it's undeniable that KFC and Starbucks have become integral parts of Chinese consumers' daily lives and have contributed to China's socio-economic development.
