Why would you pretend to be asking 'WTF???????' when it's obviously one of the single most popular fast foods on earth and has been for 30 years non-stop? Don't do that anymore okay? That is so petty, so childish sounding.

Burger King effing rules and is easily the best of the best in China. Let's hope they don't fade away over there.

@trustnoone318 no seriously, you take a risk if you buy Chinese food in China made by local Chinese. Everyone in China knows that. A Burger King that once used buns 7 days past 'recommended expiry date' is absolutely the LEAST thing you'd get by an Chinese franchise's dodgy food risks. The LEAST thing.

@trustnoone318 but 100 new ones opened elsewhere so, China is still down just 100 BKs. I don't know what he would find in the UK but 99% of what is dubbed 'Chinese food' in the UK is not really anything like actual Chinese Chinese food. It's a kind of Westernised version of Cantonese Authentic Chinese food may be one of the least popular foods on earth outside of Mainland China. plus the UK has some pretty strict food safety laws.

@XmasTablet In China? It's possible. Not the McDonalds thing but the Subway thing could have happened in China, yes.

@kamsunleong6648 Of course not and Chinse don't have a 'rich culinary culture' or 'cuisine' but what is called 'poverty food'. Things like 'chicken feet' which were sent by North Americans who don't eat such things but as to help Chinese stop starving to death. Then things like coating everything in Chile Peppers, that Western chile pepper so strong you can't taste the dog meat sold to you as beef. Dog meat is from starvation and malnutrition when people killed their own farm dogs just to get meat. Most of Mainland's China is 'poverty foods' but that isn't the actual problem. It's the 2-part double-unlucky and extreme ways its cooked, with basically zero food safety standards (all the e-Col, salmonella and bird flu you can gobble down) but ALSO the amount of 'fake food', the plastics, poisons, foreign substances, metals and non-edible chemicals that are so so often inside that poverty food. There is no 'mass boycott of starbucks' but there have been mass arrivals of 'Cotti' and these highly subsidized money-losing 'loan and stock scheme' coffee shops while at the same time Chinese get poorer and poorer so they are definitley NOT going to Starbucks anymore where a cup is 39yuan but the Chinese kiosk next door is 8.99 for an even bigger cup of coffee. McD's is definitely not being boycotted and they remain fairly busy despite fewer and fewer Chinese young people who are more and more often unemployed and can no longer pay 37 yuan when they can save money by buying kerosense grilled dog meat skewers bathed in South American chile peppers so you cant taste the neighbors stolen pet that was bashed with a hammer and cut up into grizzle and tendons. a wumao for 6 little chunks on a stick! Also, Fast Food. It is and never was deemed 'Junk Food'. 'Junk Food' is QQtan and Dove Chocolates and Chips'. Fast Food is NOT 'Junk Food' but you go eat some of your garbage 'cuisine' and don't ask about the shocking rise of stomach and intestinal cancers in China.

Nobody can guarantee anything but as a general rule you're way safer eating at any of the international franchises like BK when in Mainland China. They have to keep the exact same high standards of food safety no matter where the franchise is and no matter the country's standards. They also carry out that same training, procedures the 'fail safes' and 'fool proofing' systems with monitoring. EVEN IF Corporate HQ doesn't pay a visit - they could drop by for a surprise inspection so that keeps them alert. If you go outside those International Food Safety Standard places ... ohhh boy... its basically a free-for-all, a 'wild west' and you the manager stretching buns out for a week past 'recommended best used before' expiry dates will be the absolute LEAST of your worries.
