Chinese retailers are opening stores at a pace no one saw coming — Miniso alone has hit 330+ locations across 20+ states in under three years, while American retail lost over 8,000 stores in that same window. This isn't a coincidence.*Decode any industry like an expert:* https://clickhubspot.com/8r3qIn China, it's called neijuan (involution): a brutal, self-destructive cycle where companies compete so aggressively on price that almost nobody's left with a real margin. Nearly half of China's 400,000 bubble tea shops closed in a single year. Luckin Coffee got dragged into a price war that pushed lattes down to $1.37 — and still came out ahead of Starbucks in store count in China.

McDonald's (MCD) has a pricing problem in the United States, its second-largest business. Its value menu of 10 items for under $3 each has not delivered what management expected.

So how much are the new restaurants actually adding.
