McDonalds actually isn't as common as you might think in Chinese cities. But the fast-food restaurant that is everywhere is KFC. Chinese culture already knows and loves fried chicken, and so KFC is much more quickly adopted than restaurants like McDonalds, which, although convenient and highly marketed, have fairly unfamiliar and bland foods.

This is true, after visiting Malaysia for almost a month I noticed way more KFC's than McDonalds. This is just a guess but I would say 4 KFC's to every 1 Rotten Ronnies. This was back in 2000, so maybe Mcdonalds has caught up.
I blame softdrinks (cause of Obesity) more than fast food. (well I do guess the two go hand in hand).
