Dammed the Globalization


Dammed the Globalization said a CCTV anchorman said having a Starbucks coffee outlet in the Forbidden City makes a mockery of Chinese culture reported the Beijing News.


He was Rui Chenggang.

It was the greastest joke that Starbucks makes out of Forbidden City.

Starbucks coffee is operating in one of the museum's 9,999 rooms. The room covers some ten square meters and is not spacious enough to house any exhibition

In 2003, a KFC outlet said good-bye to its former home in Beihai Park, a group of imperial gardens located in central Beijing, after the ten-year contract ran out. Park officials believe KFC doesn't fit in the imperial garden landscape.
