It’s not breaking news that adobe cs5 fireworks download Starbucks is leaving its location inside the Forbidden City. The decision was driven, to adobe cs5 fireworks download a large degree, by the opposition stirred up by Rui Chenggang. His persistent criticism eventually resulted in a adobe cs5 fireworks download 500,000 signature petition for the franchise to leave the UNESCO World Heritage site.

But how could Starbucks avoid stoking a adobe cs5 fireworks download growing popular unrest without undermining the popularity of the other 170-odd franchises across the adobe cs5 fireworks download country?

Make it adobe cs5 fireworks download a logical and easily understandable corporate decision: avoiding the dilution of the adobe cs5 fireworks download brand.

“There were several choices, one of which was to adobe cs5 fireworks download continue, but it would not carry the Starbucks name any more,” [Eden Woon, VP for Greater China] said. “We decided at the adobe cs5 fireworks download end that it is not our custom worldwide to have stores that adobe cs5 fireworks download have any other name, so therefore we decided the choice would be adobe cs5 fireworks download to leave.” (AP cheap adobe soundbooth cs4 )

Really, who would want to buy Starbucks coffee that’s been co-branded as “Palace Museum” – the adobe cs5 fireworks download corporate brand planned for the other facilities in the City.

The Economist rightly points out that adobe cs5 fireworks download Rui Chenggang is no mere blogger. He’s an anchor for adobe cs5 fireworks download China Central Television. He has an international reputation, including speaking experience in Europe and adobe cs5 fireworks download across Asia.

His discussion of Starbuck’s presence in the adobe cs5 fireworks download Forbidden City was supported by other government-owned media (not really a rarity in China). Even if there was occasional criticism of his stance, particularly in more entrepreneurial Shanghai, it’s an adobe cs5 fireworks download indication that the government was at least silently supportive of the adobe cs5 fireworks download criticism.

It doesn’t hurt that Chenggang’s argument ultimately made perfect sense, even if Starbucks had adobe cs5 fireworks download existed inside the Forbidden City for nearly seven years:

“I was having lunch with an adobe cs5 fireworks download Indian person today, and I said, ‘Would you Indians allow a Starbucks to be inside the Taj Mahal?’ And he said, ‘No, of course not, we would never let that happen.’ “The Forbidden City,” Rui added, “is not an airport.”(LA Times)

Let’s leave the final word to Eden Woon, the VP from Starbucks:

“Never forget the adobe cs5 fireworks download core values and the characteristics that make your brand famous in your adobe cs5 fireworks download home country or elsewhere globally, but always be flexible to adapt to adobe cs5 fireworks download the special Chinese environment.” (China CSR)
