hmmm

some parts of the column of Max Soliven yesterday
(The Philippine Star, opinions section)

The biggest invasion of China (after those of KFC and McDonald’s many years ago) is that of "STARBUCKS" coffee. Indeed, when you walk out of the luggage pickup Customs zone in Beijing's international airport, the first thing you see before you is a “STARBUCKS” along with KFC. (Perhaps you should have stayed home? Sus, there goes the fairy tale about an exotic China, imbued with the mysteries of the East. It’s now wolfing down the overpriced coffee of the West).

When we were kids, my grandmother used to admonish us: "Eat, eat - don't you know people are starving in China?"
In China these days, grandmas probably tell their grandchildren to eat everything on their plate, "because people are starving in the Philippines."
