BEIJING (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The authorities in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing are investigating Singapore coffee-and-toast chain Ya Kun Kaya Toast for listing Taiwan as a country in its promotional material.

Whether the outlet in Nanjing's Qixia district can reopen for business will depend on the outcome of the investigation, the local branch of the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) told The Straits Times on Thursday (Oct 21).
