If you could look for something more locally few years ago you may find the difference.
-Shandong was never a German "colony"
-I don't know a single Chinese person in a first-tier city who goes out of their way to chase Heineken
-Please support your case about "it's becoming more popular" with verifiable data; my empirical evidence suggests the opposite
-Your comment about "a few years ago" is thoroughly confusing, but I welcome you to elaborate
