@ellachinese1: what’s inside China’s discount snack shops? The pace of innovation in China is insane. Even traditional supermarkets are under threat from discount snack chains like Zhaoyiming. These stores have exploded in popularity across China in recent years. Thanks to ultra‑low prices and prime locations, they’ve drawn huge numbers of customers away from traditional supermarkets, especially for snacks and beverages. Many small local supermarkets have been forced to close, while major chains are slashing prices to stay competitive. That said, traditional supermarkets still maintain an edge when it comes to fresh produce and daily groceries. #chinese #learnchinese #chineseculture #学中文 #chinesefood
