| Abstract: | As its middle class grows, so does its need for imported food and farming technology. Charles Shen, a 33-year old Beijing resident, has become a big fan of American food and drink since he started working as an accountant director for a Western public-relations firm. He downs two cans of Pepsi-Cola a day. He and his colleagues plot strategy over Big Macs at McDonalds. When he takes his family out, they usually head to Pizza Hut: "It's cozy and family-like". The outside world, meanwhile, is worried that China will drive up prices in international commodity markets for years to come. |
