No more starbucks!

Well, in the Forbidden City anyway. One of the most jarring things I saw last year when I was living in Beijing was that there was a Starbucks in the Forbidden City. So, one of the big symbols of Amercian capitalism was smack bang in the middle of the old seat of Chinese Imperial power! Today though, I read a Reuters article that said that the Starbucks has been shut down. One down, 3,000-odd to go!
