Why Home Depot Failed In China
Home Depot bought Home Way, a Chinese home improvement company, in 2006. The acquisition marked the first time Home Depot had expanded beyond North America. With a booming economy and strong real estate market, China seemed like an easy win for Home Depot. Within six years, the company had closed all its stores in China.
In the 1990s, the Chinese government loosened regulations on the housing market, allowing its 1.2 billion citizens to own private homes for the first time since the Communist revolution in 1949. Home improvement and furniture companies like Sweden’s IKEA and the U.K.’s B&Q rushed to meet the need.
In 2006, Home Depot bought the Chinese home improvement company Home Way, giving them 12 stores in the country. With its booming economy and strong real estate market, China seemed like it would be an easy win for America’s home improvement giant.
But by 2012, Home Depot closed the last seven of its 12 original stores. The company doesn’t break out sales data by country, but data from Euromonitor shows that China only accounted for about .3% of Home Depot’s annual net sales. Analysts say that Home Depot failed to do its homework on the Chinese market, missing the mark on consumer needs and culture.

US Midterm Elections 2026: Midterm Defeat For ‘Interventionist’ Trump | GRAVITAS
Democrats are on course to regain control of the US House of Representatives, according to projections by US media outlets. The party’s gains in key congressional races could end the Republican majority in the lower chamber. A Democratic-controlled House would give the party greater power to scrutinise President Donald Trump’s administration and challenge his legislative agenda. Vote counting and projections are continuing across several districts.

Jantar Mantar Protest: Delhi Police, RAF Detain Anti-Reservation Protesters
Jantar Mantar Protest: A large crowd gathered at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on Friday for a demonstration against caste-based reservation and demanding reforms to the reservation system. Delhi Police and the Rapid Action Force were deployed at the protest site, and several protesters were detained as the demonstration continued.
The protesters, mobilised under the Reservation Hatao Andolan, have called for greater emphasis on economic criteria rather than caste in determining affirmative action and have also raised concerns over UGC rules.

From Toilet Paper to Survival Kits: Britain’s Emergency Warning Triggers Shopping Frenzy | Gravitas
The UK government’s “Be Ready” resilience campaign has inadvertently sparked panic buying and a surge in retail sales for items like toilet paper and emergency hardware across Britain. Authorities emphasize that the guidance is a long-term preparedness strategy for potential disruptions rather than an indicator of an imminent crisis. Under the advisory, Britons were advised to keep three days’ worth of essential supplies, including bottled water, non-perishable food, cash, a torch, spare batteries and a radio, in case essential services are disrupted.
