Howard Schultz, executive chairman of Starbucks, told the Financial Times this week that China could become its biggest market within a decade. Schultz says that Starbucks is opening a new store every 15 hours in China, and that the company would soon reach an “inflection point” that would make it less dependent on its business in the US.
