US Lawmaker Urges Starbucks to Close Stores in Xinjiang Over Uyghur Repression
US lawmaker John Moolenaar has called on Starbucks to close its first stores in Xinjiang, China, condemning the move as a "morally bankrupt decision" due to the repression of Uyghurs in the region. Starbucks recently opened two stores in Urumqi, Xinjiang's capital. China denies abuse allegations, claiming its policies target terrorism and extremism. Moolenaar urged an immediate reversal of Starbucks' decision.
