  1. With the development of China’s economy, lots of retails find it important to expand their Chinese market. In order to cater the taste of Chinese customers and to adapt to the Chinese market. Such as what you mentioned in your articles. I have also seen similar things on the website of Daxueconsulting about the retails’ changes in China’s market, especially the shopping malls. With a quick development of the malls in Big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, they are now the primary type of retails seen in China now.
