What is the difference between Americanization and American culture abroad? Americanization is basically the introduction of the American culture in other countries. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 12:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way "Taiwan chicken rice burger" can only be qualified as "Taiwanization". :) 186.172.4.12 11:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
americanisation is a cultural phenomenon.
opening an american shop/restaurant outside usa is an instance of american culture abroad, but not necessarily americanising that place. you wouldnt say a sushi bar is japanisation right? RZuo (talk) 19:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But most media in the category tree show nothing more than American outlets/products outside America. Images like A Pizzahut-Restaurant in Changsha.jpg, Kosher McDonalds.JPG and Pepsi in India.jpg may equally belong to American culture abroad. --Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 13:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
that's the problem of the categories being applied that way. i would remove them.
like your example File:Kosher McDonalds.JPG, is it americanisation of jews or Judaization of american fast food culture?
kfc offering rice in china, is that sinicisation of american fast food culture? RZuo (talk) 16:47, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
