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

Newsflash

The Ministry of National Defense (MND) was reprimanded by the Control Yuan yesterday amid an investigation into whether expired munitions were illegally sold to militant groups in the Middle East and Africa.

Speculation about such sales emerged in January after a report by the Chinese-language Next Magazine that there was evidence more than 1,800 tonnes of ammunition, which had supposedly been destroyed, was re-sold by a government contractor to Romanian officials last year.
