McDonald's has over 1100 stores currently in China, with plans to expand to 2000 stores by 2013. Sales in China are expected to increase by 3-5% annually. When McDonald's first entered China, the government showed some disapproval, but their thinking later changed which allowed McDonald's to rapidly expand. McDonald's tailors its menus to local tastes while still maintaining core items like hamburgers and french fries that are popular worldwide.
