At the ongoing China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), U.S. coffee giant Starbucks has attracted great attention through its coffee industrial chain and products.

Starbucks entered the Chinese mainland in 1999 and now operates more than 6,800 stores in over 250 cities in China.

In 2012, a Starbucks Farmer Support Center was set up in Pu'er of Yunnan Province, the first of its kind in Asia, to further bolster the local coffee farming community.

In 2017, Starbucks opened a Roastery location in Shanghai, its second after the one in Seattle in Washington state on the U.S. west Pacific.

This September, Starbucks opened a new coffee innovation park in Kunshan of Jiangsu Province, the company's largest manufacturing and distribution investment outside the United States. (Xinhua/Ji Chunpeng)
