US retailer Costco was forced to close early on its opening day in China, after the store was swamped with shoppers.
Buyers battled long queues and traffic chaos, before the Shanghai store was shut hours early due to “overcrowding".
Costco's push into China comes as other foreign retailers have struggled to compete with local rivals.
