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 The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) yesterday urged the public not to use People’s Republic of China (PRC) passports because it puts them at risk of losing the rights and benefits they have as Republic of China (ROC) citizens.

The council statement followed a report by Hong Kong-based Super Media on Friday that China might launch a pilot program to issue passports for people living in what it describes as the “Taiwan Special Administrative Region” (SAR) as part of its efforts to “solve the Taiwan problem.”
