I just want to add am useless puzzahut factoid that has nothing to do with the above meme.

In China puzzahut is wholely licensed by a local company called Yum! Inc which runs Pizzahut completely separately from the US version. They also license the Taco Bell brand plus a few other things but the Taco bell chain folded in a few years because the Chinese didn't like hard corn bread folding grounded beef and whatever.

Essentially Pizzahut in China is an upscaled Italian chain like Olive Garden. You don't do take outs and it only share the logo with the international Pizzahut chain.

Yum! Brands only spun off Yum China in 2016. It hasn't been separate for very long. I assume a lot of the differences in offerings began before the split.

quote:

Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the “ Company ” or “ Yum China ” ) (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) is China’s largest restaurant company with a purpose of making every life taste beautiful. From a single restaurant in 1987, the Company now operates over 10,000 restaurants in over 1,500 cities and towns spanning every province and autonomous region across mainland China.

Yum China became an independent publicly traded company on November 1, 2016 on the NYSE, and was secondary-listed on the HKEX on September 10, 2020. Following our separation from Yum! Brands, we now have the exclusive right to operate and sub-license the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands in China, and we own the East Dawning, Little Sheep, Huang Ji Huang and COFFii & JOY concepts outright. We also partner with Lavazza to explore and develop the Lavazza coffee shop concept in China.

More fundamentally, Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s new push for “common prosperity” conflicts with developers’ most profitable business, building upscale apartments in affluent top-tier cities. The government is nudging the industry toward lower-cost and rental properties in ways subtle and not so: from manipulating credit to setting “reference prices” for real estate in the red-hot Shenzhen market.

I read an analysis today Evergrande has a lot of oversea investment and HK developer mogul investment money, for this reason I don't think Beijing will come in to save it too early. Also the owner guy has 9 billion of personal health, so he is going to have to split out large chunk of it.

I understand now. This evergrande thing may actually be a very serious thing. Nobody knows who is holding the bag.

That's a lie. We know foreigners are going to be holding the bag. Someone in doomsday eco posted an article that was about Blackrock getting balls deep in Chinese real estate. I'm going to laugh so hard if they are Bigly exposed.

The evergrande story has been a low simmer for awhile now. I want to say back in feburary there was rumblings about some of this, but it really came to the forefront in june or July. The cpc has said they are doing everything to protect Chinese banks and finance.

I think the politiburo will let evergrande blow up because they know Chinese finance and banking will be fine and most of the risk is owned by dipshit foreign investors. Watching the bonds is hilarious because people are desperate to unload them.

I know too much about Zeihan because I used to slurp every single drop of diarrhea he called his book/talks when I was at the peak of being a lib

-his entire career was built on his analysis/predictions on the US shale revolution (which are still worth reading/useful but that's it). actually did a good job explaining the global energy economy and its geopolitics
-was one the few and earliest people talking about how the Bretton-Wood world order was in long-term crisis and how it was unwinding, especially with the incursion of Trump
-gay dude who loves hiking/green energy and lives in colorado, but loves natgas (iirc he thinks its totally gonna help us transition to stop climate change, how's the dryest summer on record looking there buddy?)
-thinks Corbyn was an anti-semite and called him the UK's "trump"
-uses every chance to smugly diss Bernie (and anyone else even mildly socialist) because he thinks they don't understand how the world really works
-loves to schmooze and take selfies with cool guys like Mitt Romney and other "respectable" republicans but tends to lean democrat I think
-wishes he could personify Bretton-Woods and the US navy so he can have gay sex with it
-has a huge hard-on on predicting the implosion of the Chinese economy because of birth-rates, "sketchy" banking, and loved posting about their "ghost" cities (which are now mostly full last time I checked lol)
-I can't remember his Russia takes but they were bad and lovely, like the above Mexico/AMLO one

I cannot emphasize enough how much Zeihan would giggle with glee if China's economy exploded and millions began starving/dying. if I ever had the desire to intentionally piss myself off I'd go read his blog/tweets
guys if I'm understanding this Evergrande thing, and if it will only blow-up foreign investors if any... :shlick:

the whole loving thing, all this finance bullshit, is a house of cards on a house of cards on a house of cards. and its going to be something very stupid that knocks it over. this has Potential. and china will come out the other end unscathed simply by the fact that it is about the only country on the planet that knows how to govern. even if it's not apocalyptic, its probably going to be hilarious, and those of us in the west might have enough free time to laugh about it when they take away all the jobs again. can't wait to see what happens!
