Exactly, why (do) you have such an issue with Starbucks being there?
Well, first of all, I'm not against Starbucks, nor its brand or products. I'm against the fact that it has a presence in the Forbidden City. And the message I'm trying to send is that we Chinese people ourselves, when we are embracing the world with unprecedented openness, candid, and willingness, we also need to spend some time thinking about how we can better preserve the integrity of our culture and historical heritage. And thirdly, when foreign companies like Starbucks come to China, they need to show a little bit more sensitivity and respect to Chinese people's culture, and, of course, Chinese people's feelings.

What do you say then to accusations that you're stirring up anti-american sentiment?
There's nothing. That's just the least of the things I'm sending out to you. As you can tell, I'm speaking English with very strong American accent. This has nothing to do with China being a protectionist or anti-american. This is just non-existent.
