I'm Chinese. Even though now I don't eat any fast food, I used to like KFC in China a lot. The answer to why KFC is more popular than McDonald's in China is simple: Chinese people don't like beef patties. KFC's fried chicken just simply tastes better than McDonald's hamburger to us Chinese, period. I bet if you do a research in McDonald's in China, their chicken products will be more popular than beef products. Unfortunately, KFC beats McDonald's hands down when it comes to chicken. And the fried chicken from KFC in China is actually less greasy than those from America.

BTW, I don't think double down will be popular in China because Chinese people don't like bacon either.

Half of my extended family is from china and they love bacon and KFC. What they don't like is cheese, mayonaise and bread. Maybe a little bread is OK but MCD has lots of bread, cheese and mayo. I have never seen a traditional chinese dish with cheese.
