‘Stand on the right side of history’: Starbucks urged to close stores in China’s Xinjiang
U.S. lawmakers have called on Starbucks to shut its stores in Xinjiang, arguing that the company's presence in a region where Muslim minorities are reportedly detained is morally indefensible. The officials urged the coffee chain to reconsider its operations amid concerns over human rights abuses. Starbucks has not yet responded to the request.
