Starbucks pressed over new stores in Xinjiang
Original: Starbucks under pressure over new locations in Chinese province with Uyghur human rights violations
Starbucks is facing criticism over plans to open new locations in Xinjiang, the Chinese province where Uyghurs have been subjected to documented human rights abuses. The move has drawn pressure from campaigners and consumers who argue the company should not expand in a region tied to forced labour allegations, adding to ongoing scrutiny of Western brands operating there.
Why now: Fresh reporting that Starbucks is expanding in Xinjiang has reignited debate over corporate responsibility and Uyghur rights.
