I can understand it's popularity in China, I've tasted Chinese beer, at least that's what I was told it was.
Budweiser is a light formulation, it's current incarnation comes from the WWII era, when women entered the workforce in large numbers in industries that had been mostly the province of men, which lead to those same women going to bars after for a cool beer, which was reformulated for their tastes. After that cost cutting set in and so we have a cheaper version of those lighter beers. So I guess you can either blame Hitler, Women, the idiots who forced the treaty of Versailles on the Germans, or General Hague depending on how far back in the causes of WWII you want to go...
