A TV news anchor for China Central Television is calling for the state to kick Starbucks out of the Forbidden City, China’s most popular tourist attraction. He says the coffee shop has “trampled over Chinese culture.” Of course, Starbucks is doing all it can to prove it respects China and the palace.
I see here locally that Starbucks now has its own brand of liquors. What’s next? Their own brand of Won Ton soup?
