| Subject: Idiotic China is waging war against a cafe because it served coffee to Taiwan's president Sat Aug 18, 2018 4:54 am | |

- Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen had a cup of coffee at a Taiwan-owned coffee shop in Los Angeles last Sunday.
- The cafe, 85°C Bakery Cafe, has since received a barrage of attacks from Chinese citizens and state media, who have accused it of supporting Taiwanese independence and undermining China.
- 85C has since declared its support for China’s territorial ambitions, but that wasn’t enough.
- Multiple food delivery companies in mainland China removed 85C’s products from its platforms.
- The share price of 85C’s parent company also plummeted on Thursday, wiping $US120 million off its value.
- China has pressured multinational companies over their stance on Taiwan multiple times before.
