China Focus: Starbucks Outlet near Buddhist Temple Triggers Debate HANGZHOU, Sept. 24(Xinhua)—international coffee company and coffeehouse Starbucks has again brewed debate over business versus historical interests in China after its opening of an outlet near a famed Buddhist temple in east China. The controversial Starbucks outlet opened on Saturday in the scenic zone of the quiet, secluded Lingyin Temple, or the Temple of Soul"s Retreat, which is located in a wooded area on the bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province. This is not the first time for Starbucks to light a fire under the kettle in China. In 2007, similar disputes over commercialism in points of historical interests eventually forced the closure of an outlet of the company it had operated for seven years is Beijing"s Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace.
【正确答案】正确答案: The Coexistence of Chinese Historical Interests and Foreign Commercialism Chinese historical interests have always been revered as the national treasuries inherited from our brilliant ancestors; therefore, the opening of an outlet for the international coffee company and coffeehouse Starbucks near our famed Buddhist temple in east China can be viewed as a grave offence. It is believed that the international coffee company should choose to locate its coffeehouse in the crowded downtown areas, and our historical interests should be protected from anything that may damage its original and traditional flavor. Therefore, apart from all commercialized activities or the potential pollutions, the symbolic meaning of the foreign coffeehouse appearing in the historical interests alone seems unacceptable to our Chinese, for it is a sign of cultural intrusion. However, in spite of the strong controversy in full swing now, it seems impossible for us to hold back the trend of foreign commercialism entering the entire social sphere, including our cherished historical interests, for it is the inevitable result of the expansion of modern commercialism and the growing demand of tourists. Besides, as long as the business is operated in a legal and proper way, there is no reason for us to inhibit its existence even if it is a foreign brand. Actually, things may not be as bad as we had imagined. The appearance of service industry in historical interests can serve as the infrastructure and help to facilitate the tourists. Maybe the coexistence of Chinese historical interests and foreign commercialism can be well considered. As a country with long history and marvelous cultures, on the one hand, China, not being too anxious about the invasion of others, and not being too arrogant to accept the diversified cultures, can well integrate various kinds of elements to enrich its treasure; on the other hand, China, in the process of opening to the foreign commercialism, should cautiously prevent the risk of potential hazard, tightening the constant supervision and management of those foreign commercialism. The coexistence of Chinese historical interests and foreign commercialism can be well accomplished.
