As Chinese cities look to become further westernized in order to achieve freedom, prosperity and economic opportunity like all of the superbly economically and socially successful American cities (cough Detroit Pittsburgh cough Newark Omaha cough), giving people recognizable American brands to eat / shop at has become all the rage… except when they’re not real.

Never give up China, never give up (had me fooled).
