Not here, anyway.

According to the Reuters story by Doug Young, “Donuts take a bite from Asian fast food market” (for some reason I’m having trouble linking to it, so just search it if you’re interested):

 TAIPEI (Reuters) - Some of the world’s top donut chains have come rolling into China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan and elsewhere in the region as Asians embrace the Western fast food fad.

Oh, would that it were true, in China anyway!  The words “rolling in” makes it sound like tons of companies are coming here, but in fact, we only have one, Mister Donut.  Plus they’re not new — they’ve been here since I came to Shanghai three years ago.  There are only like five of them in the whole city, and when you go in, from about 50-90 percent of the people inside will be foreigners.  So it’s not like Chinese are frolicking amongst mountains of donuts, let alone eating them. 

What’s your deal, Doug Young?!?
