Since opening its first mainland outlet in Beijing in 1987, the fried-chicken chain has gone on to become the most recognized global brand among urban consumers in China, according to an ACNielsen survey.

Customers staged a sit-in to protest the coupon moratorium until police arrived and broke up the demonstration.
The restaurant manager, who did not give his name, said all coupons would be honored at the restaurant Thursday.
The incident was not the first trouble the coupons have caused for KFC. The chicken chain's Web site crashed Tuesday from the massive traffic caused by customers attempting to print their coupons before they were taken down at midnight Wednesday morning.
The operators of the site posted a message Wednesday apologizing for the technical difficulties.
