First in the issue of Starbucks for what I have seen in news in TV, they were making references to the cultural value of the Forbidden City, and one Chinese person that appeared in the news was talking about the cultural value for Chinese people of the place and the need to keep it free of things such Starbucks. The fear of globalization would refer to all Starbucks in China. As far as I know, the campaign is only against that specific outlet in the specific context of the Forbidden city. I assure you the images I have seen about the outlet are very respectful in my opinion with the place. But that's my western opinion.
Again the red top was barely visible, as I said before it's my opinion she should have played on the safe side and avoid the suit descending from the plane. She didn't wore the whole suit or anything in whole white after that. When I was talking about the shift, based in the comment made by Lena T, I mean that it was important before, and therefore the need to play in the safe side. If there is a shift is because it's still remember, and again I would like to point to my first message in that regard saying that "it might not be what it was before".
Regarding to the Chinese reactions, considering her status and the situation I'm sure they are aware of the cultural differences between the two countries and I'm completely sure they did not take it as an offence but it's a question of impressions made in other people. You can never depend in their understanding, you have to try to play in the safe side when you are in a situation as Letizia is. That's what is all about. Protocol, more specifically royal protocol is not only an issue of the rules but more like an art about how you can apply them, so to speak.
The Chinese children wore white shirts, red neckties and skirt and trousers in non-white colours. They were not wearing white in full.
I have repeatedly provided information about the context of the photos, on arrival descending of the plane, and provided links to those photos plus link to the thread in this forum that deals with the trip to China. I've tried very hard to be very specific in my messages and to provide sources and information about that specific event.
