As Mr. Rui said, the Forbidden city is one of the most important and precius monument in China. It’s a place where Chinese history and culture is breathing alive. It’s a place where Chinese people feel proud and their spirit is refreshed. And as a matter of fact, I do not even have to be bothered to tell how important the Forbidden city is to China and Chinese people.

Therefore, what people should be doing is prevent the Forbidden city from being damaged and being developed. However, if the chinese government keep abringing in more and more foreign restaurants and coffee shops, the Forbidden City won’t look like a symbol of Chinese culture. Even though the world is now changing and is globalizing every minute, there will be no point of going to the Forbidden city that is prospered with foreign frenchisees.

The other person said that not all the tourists would like green tea and Chinese food. It is true, being a person who doesn’t prefer grean tea rather than starbucks myself. Also, it is true that the Forbidden City is huge and the tourists are very likely to be tired, hungry or thirsty. Thus, i agree that there is some restaurant or coffee shops needed. However, why does it have to be starbucks which is a foreign brand? Chinese people can sell coffees and burgers and other things that foreign toursits will enjoy. In addition, I feel that many foreign toursits will be delighted to try some chinese food and teas. They are the people do not live in China and do not have many chances to experience those things.

Also he said that starbucks in the Forbidden City is only a tiny portion of the whole place. I do not think that this is matter of the size, but its presence in the Forbidden City. It is a palace where the most powerful people and most royal people lived their glorious lives. Even though the Starbucks may only take a tiny bit of place, being a foreign coffee shop, it shouldn’t be allowed.
