Response from Starbucks Coffee Company

Sunday, 05 July 2009 10:52 Shania Letters For Taiwan - Starbuck's Undermining of Taiwan's Sovereignty

Dear Leo,

Thank you for your comment! Taiwan was previously labeled “Taiwan, Province of China” on the store locator system on Starbucks.com in deference to International naming conventions. Because Starbucks takes no position on political issues, the system has been adjusted and the store locator is now labeled “Taiwan.”

Thank you for your kindly consideration!

Best regards,

Shania
Customer Service
President Starbucks Coffee Corporation Taiwan

Residents of Miaoli County’s Dapu Borough (大埔) erupted in tears yesterday after the Taichung High Administrative Court ruled that the county government had illegally destroyed houses belonging to four families last year.

The court said the Ministry of the Interior had failed to conduct a review of a project submitted by the Miaoli County Government to demolish the private homes in Dapu to make way for a science park before approving the project.
