How China achieved fruit freedom

Podcast cover

Round Table China

The Round Table podcast episode discusses "fruit freedom" in China, where previously expensive fruits are becoming more affordable due to agricultural upgrades, technology, and policy support, particularly in Yunnan province. The speakers also explore the trend of KTV (karaoke) venues offering extensive food menus, evolving from simple snacks to full meals like hot pot, as a survival strategy amidst market saturation, with the goal of attracting younger customers and increasing revenue, though questions remain about whether KTVs can successfully shift their primary identity from singing venues to dining destinations.
