Groupon was supposedly trying to expand in Red China before this. Maybe they've figured out that no foreign company is going to dominate this market in the PRC and, like Google, they're a little resentful. Actually, I see a couple Groupon offers in my overseas city every day and there don't seem to be a lot of takers. A lot more of the offers seem to be salons and beauty shops compared to my USA city offers. The restaurant choices are good, though. Makes me wonder about the international viability of the Groupon model.
