Yes. Which is good IMO. Starbucks would only ■■■■ up those great Arabian Beans grown in Colombia.
Actually we do.
Rationalize it anyway you want. They could build the roaster in any other country.
How many of those years did your fear and panic shut down the US economy and put millions out of work?
He did not say that. You must be the nanny state government control, brutha. @WuWei said, we, Americans should shop elsewhere. That is the way real business operates. Don’t need a nanny state politician to try to pass a law. You always seem to think you and your big government Bruthas are smarter than us common folk.
What exactly do you do for a living?

But why would they when China is already their second largest market and they already have 4200 stores there (aiming for 6500) and they’ve already been there 20 years. Building success upon success.
Fair question.
Actually I would say department of commerce…which special interest owns.
Japan is representative nation. Also Japan open plants in United States.
Hell Toyota Tundra has more American made parts in it then Chevy.
My truck was built in Texas by Texans.
Yeah I heard.

“It would be Starbucks’ first large-scale production roastery in what is now the company’s second largest retail market, China, where the company plans to have 6,000 stores by 2022.”China is already Starbucks second largest market. Does the OP expect any company to cut its second largest market?
If it is the 2nd largest market without the investment in Chicom manufacturing, how is it “cutting the market”?
I’m willing to help Starbucks make China the champ. You?
Investment is the preview to expansion.
Sounds wise. Briefs well. Fits on a powerpoint slide and maybe even a bumper sticker.
They’ve been investing and making money there for 20 years. Capitalist success.

Has nothing to do with my post or the topic at hand.
Fear mongering.
Virtue signaling.
Emotional.

Because their largest customer by 3 times is pissed.

It has everything to do with it. The situation has changed. The status quo is no longer acceptable. Logic.
No, I didn’t assume anything. You flat out said “Yes, explain it…”
Yes, they do. This thread is about Starbucks.
It does not matter. Starbucks sells their products in China due to investments they made in China to build coffee shops.
You are basically deriding a different type of investment and I am not sure why you think there is a difference.
There you go again. I didn’t complain. I described the situation and offered a solution - stop doing business with them. Guess who else I don’t do business with? Tesla, Ford, GM, Target and Apple. Once in a great while Walmart. Amazon a lot, searching for an alternative.
Sounds like a complaint.
Like I said, buy American.
Cool, when can I buy my American made android device? American made TV?
How do you force a company to make American made products when they don’t have American made alternatives?
I’ve been agin 'em ever since those red holiday cups came out.
It made me laugh, but you left Tombstone.

Lol capitalism isn’t run on emotions.

That is populist pipe dream.
Capitalism is the reason why that will never happen.
