I'm looking forward to having a BigMao

The People's Burger

Chinese KFC was really good before but now its fallen off (the big crunch equivalent is now this tiny rectangle, the chicken isn't as cripsy, and it kinda just tastes like salt) and domestic chains like Tasiting (sort of like if you made a burger but it was actually a fried chicken roujiamo) are really putting pressure on it. Honestly this might be a good thing if it means KFC in China sucks less, its super nostalgic because as a kid it was the "fancy western restaurant" for occasional treats.

NOOOOOOOOO NOOOOO NOT THE FREEDUMB. CHINA IS BRINGING STALIN'S SPOON TO END MCDONAL KFC. NOOOOOO

RELEASE THE SECRET RECIPE XI

Nationalize the tendies!

Under the terms of the deal, Citic Ltd. and its investment management unit Citic Capital will acquire 52 percent of the business while another partner, Washington-based private equity firm The Carlyle Group, will own 28 percent. McDonald’s will retain a 20 percent stake.

Citic is a SOE.

Socialism burger, socialism burger

I want to believe but I don’t see confirmation anywhere and pamphlets is a patsoc rag.

KFXi

This is a McDonalds Peace Theory I can get behind.

Xi saw @Alaskaball's post!!

it will only make it better. then export the new, more delicious People's Chicken and Burgers to the rest of the world

Keeping the drink refills free

I watched Paul Jay's Reality Asserts Itself series of interviews with Finkelstein, and they talked about Finkelstein's die hard Maoist youth, with a funny episode about cops going to Finkelstein's house and seeing a bunch of Maoist posters in his room, his mom quickly told the police that Finkelstein liked Chinese people lol. After the death of Mao, the arrest of the Gang of Four, and Deng's reforms, Finkelstein drifted away from Maoism and pretty much Leninism. One of his profs (maybe a lib I don't remember) told Finkelstein that there will be a McDonald's in China soon when Deng opened up. Now if China nationalizes McD's, is that the CPC's turn back towards Socialism? lol

I had a mini scare cause I read the title and thought it was a Gorbachev thing.

So McDonald's here are doing away with free refills and may be nationalized in China. 🤔

This is seriously great agitprop stuff for us.

Maybe they can partner with that Russian company that took over McDonalds

Definitely getting a world war with this one

Good, next shut them down so at least one country will have less animal murder slop.

Please let this be real so I can have the People’s McDouble

Vaguely related, but I saw the menu of a KFC when I visited China and they had this “chicken taco” that was a giant breaded chicken patty shaped like a taco shell and filled with taco ingredients. It was pretty out of control and Xi should put a stop to that sort of thing.
