Supermarkets in China

Abstract

China is moving into the modern retailing age with around 150 supermarkets — though that may not seem much with a population of 1,100 million. But there are problems — prices in general are rather high, space allocation is somewhat arbitrary, and packaging is deplorable. This article is based on an eight week working visit by the author to Beijing.
