McDonald's says food giveaway not tied to China's TV show on corporate shame

McDonald’s will give away more than a million breakfast McMuffins across China on Monday, a few days after Chinese state television airs its annual expose on corporate malpractice to mark World Consumer Rights Day.

The promotion, the US fast food chain says, is purely coincidental.

On Friday, news programme 3.15 – one of China’s most widely watched TV shows – will name and shame companies that it says violated the trust of consumers in a nation forecast to become the world’s largest retail market in three years.
