Financial Analysis

Walmart opened its first store in China, but it was a disaster. We were lucky to have a bumper crop of fruit for the first harvest in 2012 in Shaoxing, and we needed to store the produce immediately.

Walmart did not have the advantage that many of its competitors had at the time. There

SWOT Analysis

Walmart, a global supermarket chain, opened in China in 1998. In 2011, Walmart opened its first Chinese hypermarket, Walmart China.

I will try to give a short summary here, though: Walmart was very popular there — even better than in most countries (including the US).
