I have big problems if they want Chinese companies to continue opporating there but they outlaw foreign competition.
Personally, I couldn't care less about what the Chinese do with the Forbidden City, or what the Americans do with the Vietnam wall.
I do find it interesting that I've heard a lot of Westerners complain about the KFC at the Great Wall at Badaling, but never heard any Westerner complain about the Starbucks in the Forbidden Palace.Last edited by Tingkai; March 13, 2007, 08:23.Golfing since 67Comment

If expelled, Starbucks could adopt the motto:
We are the "Forbidden" in the Forbidden City.

First they came for Starbucks
and I did not speak out.
Then they came for KFC
and I did not speak out.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
