I remember being taken to cafes to have some exceptionally good coffee in Shanghai when I used to visit in the early 90s for business. Cappuccinos and Lattes were unheard of in Manchester where I lived in at the time. Shanghai has always had good coffee, long before the “Starbucks-ification” of many western cities.

[@adriandunbar3011]

The word "decorating" was mistranslated by BBC in the interview at 2:00, actually she is saying that the build-out (i.e. remodeling, 装修) cost is expensive. This involves sledgehammers. Students in China training on translation of leases use "build out" not "decoration." This mistake is frequently made by ChatGPT when doing interpretation from English audio... In short, BBC, make sure to use professionals when presenting China!

Coffee capital of the world? The majority of them drink creamy icy stuff with a straw. How many coffee connoisseurs do you know prefer their coffee that way? They just want a cool drink on a hot day and cafes happen to give them that and allow them to hang for hours which suit young people who don’t have lots of money to spend at many different places. If it looks cool and give them great shots on Instagram or the Little Red Book that’s a bonus. But frankly that could have been bubble tea as well and people don’t really care. Coffee capital is a stretch.

Thanks for this proram .As shanghai has its DNA of embracing the new culture and new ideas since 1840, so many people there are willing to try and adapt the Westner items literally. another factor does contribute to this phenomenon: young people are facing very challenage work and life, so some of them now shifts their attitude : doing nothing“及时行乐- live on time” , in stead pursuiting very big goal as it is unpredictable in current ecomonic envirroment . as i need to travel between Vietnam and Shanghai , i also see there are a lot of cafes in Vietnam also , most of the consumers are young. part of reason are the same: people woule like to enjoy the current certain happines to chat with people and enjoy rather than some big things
