Starbucks under pressure over Xinjiang as US closures continue

Original: starbucks

Starbucks is facing two separate stories. Activists are urging the company to close its stores in China's Xinjiang region, telling it to 'stand on the right side of history' amid human rights concerns. Meanwhile, the coffee chain is pressing ahead with nationwide store closures in the United States, with locations shut or set to shut in Wisconsin and dozens across Southern California.

Why now: Starbucks is in the news both for mounting calls over its Xinjiang presence and for a wave of US store closures.
