| The Motley Fool has an interesting article on Starbucks in China: http://www.fool.com/News/mft/2005/mft05060913.htm
Starbucks expects China to be its second biggest market, after North America. It is making strategic deals to gain marketshare. However, it may face competition from McDonalds "McCafe"! Time will tell if tea houses will be able to compete with the coffee onslaught. Personally, I like both Cafe Lattes and Chinese green tea, at different times for different reasons. |
