Change Name to "Taiwan"

Dear Sir or Madam:
 
I have always been a great admirer of Starbucks.  Its spectacular success in business.  Entrepreneurial aptitude.  Classy yet homey approach.  And above all, its uncompromising attitude in pursuing a high ethical standard such as serving environmentally friendly coffee.
 
However, I am deeply disappointed to find out that my country, Taiwan, has been listed as a "province of XXXXX," a country that shall not be named due to its horrible records in human rights and liberty.
 
Such an action repudiates Starbucks' admirable ethics records in the past.
 
If you want our money to invest in your stocks, or as your loyal customers, remove the words "province of XXXXX" from all web pages and Starbucks' documents.  Everywhere.  Everyplace.

Newsflash

The Ministry of the Interior (MOI) said yesterday it would give a progress report on vote-buying cases linked to Saturday’s local government elections at the legislature today, an announcement that drew mixed reactions.

The pan-blue camp said it hoped the ministry would increase its efforts to expose illegal campaign practices, while pan-greens doubted the effectiveness of the crackdown.
