Starbucks Denies Full Sale of China Operations, Highlights Long-Term Potential
星巴克否认全面出售中国业务，强调长期发展潜力
Starbucks has rejected reports that it’s in talks with private equity firms to sell its entire China business, amid slowing sales and fierce competition from domestic rivals. The coffee chain stated it sees “significant long-term potential” in China and is evaluating strategies to seize future growth opportunities. The denial followed a Caixin Global report claiming Starbucks was considering selling its China unit, with potential buyers like Hillhouse Investment and Trustar Capital mentioned.
星巴克驳斥了有关其正与私募股权公司洽谈出售整个中国业务的报道，目前该公司面临销售放缓和国内竞争对手的激烈竞争。这家咖啡连锁企业表示，其在中国看到 “巨大的长期潜力”，并正在评估抓住未来增长机遇的最佳策略。此前，《财新全球》报道称星巴克正考虑出售中国业务，提及潜在买家包括高瓴投资和中信资本旗下的私募股权公司泰康资产。
