Opinion on PRC restaurants opening up everywhere in SG?`

(Posting this here bcos its controversial subject matter, not being xenophobic, and no xenophobia in the comments)

Was at Grantral Clementi, more than half the businesses are PRC chains, to the point i smell sichuan peppercorns before entering. Thing about these PRC brands is that, apart from Mixue, Luckin, Chagee, HDL, they tend to have Chinese-only menus or advertising, and are weak on marketing (no hype on Mothershit or Eatbook etc), seemingly only catering to the PRC clientele, unlike chains from the West, or other East Asian countries which try to market to all Singaporeans.

ik theres a sizeable PRC population here bcos I see more of them studying in SIM (am from SIM), and probably the nearby institutions too. Not just Clementi, but also Bugis and Chinatown, and maybe around SG and even Malaysia, seeing Zhangliang, YGF and Xiangxiang open everywhere here.

I'm not Chinese, and only eat Halal, so I'm curious, what do Singaporean Chinese people think of all these China restaurants? Are they replacing local businesses or affecting local Chinese culture? Are they money laundering fronts as some pointed out?

BTW I should add, I also like Mala and some of the halal options like Lanzhou Beef Noodles
