Master 又…又… Sentences + China’s Food Delivery & Online Shopping Wars | HSK 3

In today’s episode, we dive into the super versatile structure 又…又… (yòu… yòu…), which is used to describe two qualities at the same time, such as “both big and clean” or “both cheap and tasty.” We’ll also introduce a variation, 又…又不… to express contradictions — a must-know for natural conversations!

In our cultural segment, we explore one of the most exciting aspects of modern Chinese life: food delivery (点外卖) and online shopping (网购). From the fierce competition between Meituan and Ele.me, to the rise of Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo, you’ll learn why delivery in China is cheaper and faster than almost anywhere else. Plus, we’ll compare China’s delivery scene with Taiwan, where services are often pricier due to higher platform and restaurant fees.
