Starbucks and Samsung have both come under fire for allegedly bullying Chinese customers and over-charging them, in the latest attack by Chinese media on global companies, China Central Television (CCTV) and China Daily have alleged that Starbucks is making consumers pay more for its products in China compared to other markets including the US.
Earlier this year, CCTV accused iPhone maker Apple of treating its Chinese customers as "second-class" by not repairing their iPhones free of charge.
Lending credence to its allegation, The CCTV news report said that compared to $3.20 in Chicago and $4 in London, a medium size latte in China costs 27 yuan or $4.40. The report also said, the branded Starbucks coffee-mug, which is manufactured in China, is sold at $18 to Chinese customers whereas the product is sold for between $10 and $14 in the US.
