Nikkei: Xinjiang's 1st Starbucks draws ire from US
Posted on 2026-10-02 17:24:13
A US lawmaker is calling on Starbucks to close its first stores in China's East Turkestan province...
known in Mandarin as Xinjiang.
John Moolenaar, a Republican, called the decision to open a Starbucks there a "morally bankrupt" one...
given the PRC's ongoing widespread abuse of Uyghur Muslims in the region.
Starbucks opened its first two stories this week in the capital of East Turkestan, including one at the city center's grand bazaar and a second at its international airport.
