The following is the information I found for you:

What is the Friendship Store?

Friendship Store is a state-run store in Chinese mainland. At first, the Friendship Store only served foreigners, diplomats and government officials, but now there are no restrictions on customers. In the late 1970s, when China first opened to the outside world, state-run friendship shops were opened in major cities as a symbol of friendship. Shops sell goods imported from the West, such as peanut butter and Hershey chocolate, as well as handicrafts from China. The price is much higher than the market price of the place of origin, but because the Friendship Store monopolizes the sales of imported goods, customers have no choice. In the past, Friendship Store only accepted foreign exchange certificates as currency. Commodities include uncensored western reading materials, such as The New York Times, so the guards will prevent anyone who looks like porcelain from entering the store. People often look out the door to see what goods are sold in the shop. At present, shops have been opened to everyone, most of them ended after the introduction of market economy, and only a few shops are still open, especially several large shops in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have been preserved as nostalgia for the past.

The literal interpretation of friendship:

Friendship is a kind of special emotion produced by people in communication activities, which is essentially different from general goodwill produced in communication activities. Friendship is an emotion from a two-way (or interactive) relationship, that is, the condensation of feelings between the two sides, and any unilateral good can not be called friendship. Intimacy is the core component of friendship, and intimacy is also known as an important indicator to measure the degree of friendship. Rogers (1985) summed up this intimate relationship from three aspects: (1) being able to reveal his thoughts, feelings and inner secrets to friends; (2) Fully trust friends and be sure that their "confessions" will be respected by friends and will not be easily leaked or used against themselves; (3) friendship relations limited to special evaluation, that is, limited to a few close friends or confidants.
