Starbucks has emerged as the latest brand to fall foul of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protesters after a family member of the restaurant chain that owns the local franchise spoke out against demonstrators. One cafe in the district of Wanchai was daubed with slogans saying "boycott", as well as insults to the police and Maxim's Caterers -- the major Hong Kong restaurant chain that runs Starbucks outlets in the city. The vandalism illustrates the huge pressures on international brands as Hong Kong is shaken by its worst political unrest in decades.
