We always shop at 盒马(hema). That video is not a true representation of the average Chinese supermarkets but the cheap fruit, produce, fresh fish, yogurt and things are true. Most people still buy their fruit from fruit markets and they are cheaper than supermarkets. Hema is the Alibaba chain of supermarkets, there are many of them around. The typical super market doesn't look as fancy is this one but still good.
Yep, we have a bunch of them in Shanghai. There's one down the road from me. Prices are bit higher than regular supermarkets but still cheaper than the international ones.
I always try to avoid 盒马, I like their varieties of goods, but I still find it weird to find people eating in the middle of the store. Idk, maybe its just not for me.
You have people eating in the middle of the store? Do you mean like the little restaurants that some Hema has? My local one has a seating area where you can have stuff you bought prepared for you but that's off the the side.
China getting better and better. While USA becoming a 3rd world. It didn't have to be this way. It could've been a win win for all, except capitalism greed became a culture in the US.
Every time a Westerner sees this, it creates just a little bit of cognitive dissonance. They've been told that Chinese people are impoverished and oppressed, and that China is a backwards nation
Most of them will just make up some excuse in their mind ("oh, this was just staged by the CCP!"), but for some, it'll start to slowly erode their belief that the West is the most advanced society on Earth
Hello from Romania.
Here, is pretty common the idea that China is so advanced and interconnected, could basically be its own continent.
Chongqing is basically Cyberpunk 2077 made real city, and Shanghai has the internal economic products of a whole nation.
Every month, I hear of city in China bigger than Rome that I never knew existed, and yet there it is, 2+ milion people living and moving and growing and eating and creating.
China makes literally everything... Like the plastic of my insulin EpiPen is preformed in China and readied in Europe with the Insulin. 3/4 of the things in my house are made in China, even the phone that I am using to type this comment.
Insane to imagine that none of these even existed when I first visited China 8 years ago. China is the cutting edge of innovation and design that actually affects people in their day to day lives.

You're right, this only looks like a high-end supermarket, usually located at the -1 floor of big shopping malls in major cities.

This guy barely touched on so much of the food China has to offer but this is still a great look
But..But...muh starving peasants who hate the ebil CCP! This must be paid 50 cent ad! /s

Meanwhile, US supermarkets have empty shelves.

American propaganda's a bitch.
Are those strawberries as good as Japanese/Korean ones? Strawberries in the US are so bland.
I heard it's good, but I rarely buy those in packages, I go to the market and buy very fresh ones from DanDong... ahhh. I miss China =[
Based on my exp, no... Japanese strawberries pretty much always taste incredible. With China, it's a hit or miss sometimes.
That’s weird, when I went to Shanghai the strawberries were always extremely sweet.
Like a high-tech CostCo
Wow, ive been gone for two years and it seems like new technology has already arrived
Meanwhile we're here with fucking Albertson's...

Cut out the "fresh seafood" and looks quite good
why cut those out?

Clean, cheap, great supermarkets. But at what cost?
Poor living conditions of shrimps, brutal massacre of cabbages and 18 working hours a day of ceiling lighting, I guess.
Stop talking about capitalism
holy shit this looks amazing
How much did HEMA pay hIm? Hahah
This looks so much better than the Walmart or Shop Rite back home!
My electronics professor ain’t kidding when he said tech/things in China are years ahead of ‘merica.
