WASHINGTON， Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Starbucks has announced a plan to hire 10，000 refugees over five years in 75 countries in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban.

"There are more than 65 million citizens of the world recognized as refugees by the United Nations， and we are developing plans to hire 10，000 of them over five years in the 75 countries around the world where Starbucks does business，" Haward Schultz， the coffee retailer's chairman and CEO， said in a letter to employees on Sunday.

"And we will start this effort here in the U.S. by making the initial focus of our hiring efforts on those individuals who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel in the various countries where our military has asked for such support，" Schultz added.

Under the executive order Trump signed Friday， refugees from all over the world will be suspended U.S. entry for 120 days while all immigration from the so-called "countries with terrorism concerns will be suspended for 90 days."

Moreover， Schultz committed to offer Starbucks employees the access to health insurance even if the Affordable Care Act， widely known as Obamacare， is repealed causing them to lose their healthcare coverage.

In open defiance against Trump's proposal to build a wall between the United States and Mexico， Schultz said the company is "building bridges， not walls， with Mexico，" noting that "we will continue to invest in this critically important market all the same."

This is not the first time that the outspoken CEO took aim at some of Trump's agenda， including asking customers not to bring guns into stores.

Schultz is among CEOs of some of the world' s biggest companies who are fighting back against the controversial travel ban.

The heads of Apple， Ford and Goldman Sachs also said they don't support Trump's executive order.

The Starbucks decision also caused a stir on social media， with #BoycottStarbucks became a trending topic on Twitter immediately after the company's announcement.

Twitter user named "The Trump Train" tweeted that "Black American unemployment rate is double the national average but Starbucks is looking to hire refugees." The post has got more than 5，500 likes and 3，300 retweets as of Tuesday.

Still， there are many more Starbucks supporters including actress Jessica Chastain. Chastain tweeted that "#Starbucks plans to hire 10，000 refugees #buyStarbucks."

Another Twitter user named "The Vocal Majority" posted a photo showing a hand holding a cup of Starbucks coffee and said "doing my part to support Starbucks in the face of #boycottstarbucks."

CPC should provide direction for judicial independence: lawyer

China's top justice is requiring courts to resist the Western trap of judicial independence and stick to Chinese ideology, which experts said is meant to highlight the importance of the Communist Party of China's leadership.

Supreme People's Court (SPC) president Zhou Qiang said at a meeting on Saturday attended by the heads of high people's courts nationwide that courts must resist the wrong ideology from the West, such as constitutional democracy, separation of powers and judicial independence [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/jonathan-toews/]Cheap Jonathan Toews Hat[/url] , and stand firm on the rule of law with Chinese characteristics.

Zhou said courts should fight the disavowal of CPC leadership, defamation of the Chinese rule of law and judicial system and must not fall into the Western trap, China News Service reported on Saturday.

"The recent unjust and false cases triggered the condemnation of judicial organizations, with some calling for judicial independence in China and the rising ideological trend in favor of bourgeois liberalism [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/duncan-keith/]Cheap Duncan Keith Hat[/url] ," Su Wei, a professor at the Party School of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee, told the Global Times on Sunday.

Judicial organizations are required to handle cases independently, which means CPC officials are not allowed to interfere in cases [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/patrick-kane/]Cheap Patrick Kane Hat[/url] , but it is totally different from Western judicial independence, said Su, explaining that CPC leadership does not clash with the handling of cases in accordance with law.

The government has strengthened efforts to advance judicial reform in a bid to respect and protect human rights, the Xinhua News Agency said.

"Bureaucratic red tape is the root of unjust cases in judicial organs [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/marian-hossa/]Cheap Marian Hossa Hoodie[/url] , and some abandon people-focused policies in cases, and wait for instructions from higher CPC leadership," said Su.

"The socialist political party system with Chinese characteristics is different from the Western concept of separation of powers, with the Chinese system consistent with a policy dating back to Deng Xiaoping [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/gustav-forsling/]Cheap Gustav Forsling Hoodie[/url] ," Su said.

Mao Lixin, a Beijing-based lawyer, told the Global Times on Sunday that "judicial independence should be realized under CPC leadership, which means the Party should provide political and ideological direction [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/john-hayden/]Cheap John Hayden Hoodie[/url] , and interfering with the exercise of judicial powers should be avoided."

Ideology will be an important factor in evaluating government officials, and those who violate the ideological requirements will be held accountable, Zhou said at the meeting.

Zhou also stressed the importance of protecting national political security, saying that courts should resist hostile forces' attempts to start a color revolution [url=http://www.cheapblackhawkshockeyjerseys.com/ryan-hartman/]Cheap Ryan Hartman Hoodie[/url] , and harshly punish those who incite the subversion of state power and participate in separatist activities.
