Forbidden City Cafe. Starbucks evicted! Commercialized Imperial Palace. Chinese Culture.

I just read online… there’s a new Cafe in the Forbidden City in China! Say goodbye to Starbucks! Well according to Rui Chenggang, Starbucks didn’t consider the “solemnity of the Forbidden City and (trampled on) Chinese culture.” Imagine, the Forbidden City of Beijing is now commercialized! Starbucks has been there since 2000, as said in the article.

So the main reason why they wanted a new cafe was so that they can provide other product related to Imperial Palace and Chinese Culture.

Well, ok, i find it reasonable. Viva China! Hehehe.
