U.S. lawmakers were furious because this meant they could no longer prove that forced labor and genocide were taking place in Xinjiang.So they immediately demanded that Starbucks’ U.S. headquarters close this branch, but Starbucks U.S. couldn’t do that.That’s because the shares of Starbucks China are owned by Chinese companies, and Starbucks U.S. has absolutely no control over them.

Why are American companies allowed to open shops in China at all? Arent you guys enemies?
>A US lawmaker has called on Starbucks (SBUX.O), opens new tab to close its first stores in China's Xinjiang, calling it a "morally bankrupt decision" to do business in a region where Uyghurs face repression.>China denies widespread accusations of abuses of the Uyghurs>John Moolenaar, chairman of the Select Committee on China of the House of Representatives, called on Starbucks to "immediately reverse course and close its stores".>"This is a shocking and morally bankrupt decision by a company that prides itself on social responsibility," he said in a statement published on Thursday.>"There is no justifiable reason for an American company to do business in a region where the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) has detained more than a million Uyghurs and is stripping them of their faith, language, and culture."
>>544184079worst american export, terrible coffee.
>>544184079How can Starbucks even compete in China? Don't the Chinese have like 5 massive coffee chains
>>544184339>Arent you guys enemies?only performatively for elections and passing laws to create a surveillance state because "we can't let china do that better than us"in all other cases, the spice must flow
Starbucks China produced a promotional video specifically to respond to the nonsense spouted by U.S. lawmakers.https://b23.tv/kiijaCe
>>544184370Of course an Italian would say that
>>544184492>How can Starbucks even compete in China?
>>544184492More than 60% of Starbucks China’s shares are held by Chinese companies and individuals; Starbucks U.S. has little decision-making power and can only collect licensing fees.When there’s absolutely no one left to buy Starbucks coffee beans, all they’ll have to do is change the name and logo to a Chinese brand.
>>544184563looks nice. shame about the coffee.
>>544184079CHING CHONG CHING BING BONG lol. You have slanted eyes. Your women are hot though.
>>544184812Anon, why do white men always resort to “dick-patriotism” whenever they engage in racism?You guys look like the kind of people who would immediately betray their own country and race just to get a woman.Take Asmongold and his Chinese girlfriend, for example.Since he couldn’t find a white girlfriend, he had no choice but to become a racial traitor and a Chinese propagandist.
>>544184367Don't these fucking niggers want to make it illegal to NOT do business with Israel? You know, the same people who performing the best document apartheid + genocide in human history? Why don't chinks just point this out?
>>544184079>they could no longer prove that forced labor and genocide were taking place in Xinjiang.Wat?

>>544184079clearly she doesnt have clearance to privy about INTEL front
>>544185064Exactly.It makes no sense.I strongly suspect American politicians don't realize Uyghurs are Muslims, the same people they try to wipe out in Gaza.If Uyghurs were native to USA they would be put in camps too.
>>544185167>>544185339Our politicians have a saying about Americans:>“Americans hate Chinese people, and they hate Muslims, but for some reason, they like Chinese Muslims.”Just think about the irony of that.
>>544184689Kek those 2 in the middle are definitely fucking.
>>544184079okay, but why does china want a starbucks in china and not a lucking coffee or whatever it is?
>>544186029Starbucks in China is actually a prime example of the Chinese government’s efforts to attract foreign investment.The first Starbucks in China opened in Beijing in 1999. Later, Starbucks became a trendy choice that symbolized the status of China’s new middle class.Luckin Coffee was founded in 2017; essentially, the Chinese government is gradually replacing Western brands with Chinese ones.Starbucks in Xinjiang is essentially nothing more than a form of political propaganda; nothing would infuriate American politicians more than allowing an American brand to open a branch in Xinjiang.https://x.com/shen_shiwei/status/2105991195428266389
>>544184079>they could no longer prove that forced labor and genocide were taking place no, it means they can now try to prove it, if there's evidence, but they never really wanted that. They just wanted to make false claims without the burden of proving it.
I never understood at the time, why /pol/, who were so adamant at questioning the Holocaust figures, just swallowed the baloney whenever it came to China. "Mao killed 20 million...30...45...60...80...100 MILLION PEOPLE!!!!" It makes the Auschwitz math look positively tame, and the logistics become even more improbable. Same thing for the Uighur crap, there's not a shred of evidence, no video, all the "survivors" are fat glowie hags, there's not even pictures of what's supposedly going on except for that drug camp photo that gets spammed as 'proof'. You'd think a board centered around proving glowies just manufacture atrocity propaganda for their nefarious agendas would've leapt on this extremely flimsy and obvious charade. But instead /pol/ practically sounds like the State Dept when discussing China.Now of course, I know better. You're all Jews, or retarded golems who might as well be Jews.
>>544184079>Starbucks proves there's no genocide Are you retarded? I think your forget that you live in a fascist state that bends the laws however it wants. Look at this chink >>544184689 it's not even Starbucks but some chingchong version.
>>544188087
>>544188087Making muslims be normal is not a genocide Bombing them is, which israel does
