yiwu indian traders story

BEIJING: Two Indian traders, abducted and tortured after their trading firm’s owner fled without paying his dues to businessmen in south China’s Yiwu city last year, have been forced to live on Shanghai streets since Tuesday after the Indian embassy stopped paying their hotel bills.

The two – Deepak Raheja and Shyamsunder Agarwal – had been staying in a hotel after the embassy rescued them from captivity and bought them back from Yiwu. “We are on the streets. We have no money for the hotel as the embassy has stopped supporting us,” Agarwal said. “Please help us go home to India.”

Sources said the embassy has spent more than $7,000 on their hotel bills and that it cannot pay them endlessly as its responsibility is limited to ensuring that they get justice. Embassy officials were unavailable for comments.

The two were asked to pay $1.58 million to Chinese traders after the Yemeni owner of their firm fled. They have been charged in a Chinese court of short-changing local businessmen. But they two have maintained that they have nothing to do with the unpaid dues.

Chinese government said they two face court cases in south China and cannot leave the country until they honor commitments to local businessmen. “Since the two Indian businessmen have not honored their compensations commitment, the relevant court has ordered them not to leave. This order still in effect,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei on Thursday. He hoped the two would settle the dues and resolve the issue soon.

It is unclear whether the Indian government is trying to track down the Indian co-owner of the firm that has allegedly made huge purchases from Chinese traders in Yiwu without paying for them.

The Yiwu Ms. Yang, a container is also aboard the ship. “On the 20th morning, until my husband saw the news, we know ‘BARELI’ accident, I was immediately called for the verification, my container shipped from Shanghai Port on that ship.” Ms. Yang said she was very curious about the bill of lading has not signed out, I did not think of the cargo ship accident.

Avoid Yiwu India tells traders; behave honestly says China

New Delhi: India on Wednesday managed to secure the release of two Indian traders trapped in China. But the trade turned diplomatic row rattled the foreign offices of both countries.

External affairs minister SM Krishna said the incident shouldn’t be blown out of proportion, even so the ministry told Indian traders to stay away from the town of Yiwu.

Krishna at a Press Conference in New Delhi said, “I am very happy with the outcome. Traders have been released and they are on their way to Shanghai under consular officers security. We have friendly relation with China. Let’s not blow this incident out of proportion. Both the traders will take care of themselves in the civil-suit case in China.”

Chinese Ambassador to India Zhang Yan said, “We are coordinating. We are working hard to solve the issue. Everything will be settled through Chinese law.”

Indian traders had been illegally detained and reportedly tortured by Chinese suppliers for non-payment of dues.

Trader Deepak Raheja speaking over the phone with CNN-IBN said, “We are poor people. We will fight the case but in a safe place. We haven’t had food, water for days now. If I am not taken to Shanghai within 24 hours, I will commit suicide.”

A strongly worded Indian advisory warned Indian traders to stay away from Yiwu – saying there was no guarantee of legal remedies there.

In response, the Shanghai authorities launched criminal proceedings against the Chinese suppliers and promised police protection to the Indian traders.

The fact is there’s a dark underside to Yiwu. The US government says it is one of four markets in China dealing in pirated and counterfeit goods.

Two Chinese music websites based here violate international copyrights and Indian diplomats hint at a criminal nexus involving traders, the courts and the police.

The Chinese authorities say the Indians are at fault.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said, “China hopes India can treat this case with objectivity and fairness, and actively educate Indian merchants in China to behave according to the Chinese law, behave honestly and operate legitimately.”

The Indians may have erred in not paying their dues but that does not justify their detention or maltreatment. India and China have begun 2012 on an unhappy note.

He sells ketchup packets in Douala

Actually the first destination of Kaka Chen in Africa was Ghana, where his family clothing business started more than 10 years ago.
Yiwu’s businessmen always choose the clothing business as their starting point when they go to overseas countries to explore new profits, especially in African countries. ”
That was really a wise choice made by my parents 10 years ago. But nowadays clothing business environment is becoming tougher and tougher,” said Kaka.
So it was not strange that Kaka proposed to his parents that they should explore new business after he stayed in Accra, the capital of Ghana for two years. “What’s your plan?” asked his parents.
“Ketchup packages.”
The ketchup should be a prosperous business. Kaka stated that Africans always add some ketchup into their staple food, to satisfy their unique taste. “They like the sour taste, they feel delighted when their fry rice with ketchup.”
So that’s how Kaka fought for his own business, by leaving Ghana and opening a ketchup factory in Douala, the largest commercial city in Cameroon.
“Life in Douala is boring, I have to say.” Kaka confessed that life in Africa is kind of simple, like the life of monks in the temple.
There are no malls for shopping, no entertainments for killing time; what Kaka usually do at nights is watching the CCTV-4 programs and occasionally pressing the F5 button to
refresh the net page. “CCTV-4 is the only Chinese channel we can watch in Douala. The network speed there is slow to a crawl, it always takes minutes to access the website, and
that really cultivates my patience.”
But what at t r a c t s Kaka in Douala is still the simple life. Africans generally get married when they are 15 or 16 years old. Yaona, a 20-year-old young man Kaka hired as his employee, is already playing the role of a father – “I have 2 kids to feed.” Yaona’s opening remarks somehow astonished Kaka. “They work for 8 hours a day and get 600 yuan a
month, and they feel satisfied and cherish their work opportunities.
They sing when they are working, they look very happy and optimistic, and I like the way they work.”
One more thing which impresses Kaka in Douala is the frequent usage of the typical made-in-China mobiles. “You must know this kind of mobiles, with long time stand-by and amazingly high decibel ringing. It costs about 200 to 300 yuan in Douala.”
Kaka said Africans always show their kindness to Chinese, just like what Yaona said one day when Kaka had chats with his employees:”Chinese people are so smart, their mobiles are of good quality but low prices, and the TV show made in China is wonderful.” Kaka briefed that his African friends like the ”
Journey to the West” the most. “It is translated into English, of course.
Africans are big fans of the ‘DaShiXiong’ Sun WoKong.” Yaona and his fellows nicknamed one of Kaka’s Chinese employees (who is fat) as “Er ShiXiong”(Pigsty), and this nickname could get all the people in Kaka’s factory into a big laugh.

The worlds largest trading post… Yiwu, China

Great weekend for a change.  The weather was warm, sometimes sunny, little rain etc…   Friday I took the riders to the Buddhist temple which is on the other side of the Qaintang River,  then halfway up a distant mountain.   Actually the mountain’s base is in a ghetto so we drag our bikes halfway up the 500 stairs and chain them to a rail where the entire world can watch them.   I haven’t had my bike stolen there in my previous visits.   My monk friend was in meditation when I visited, but their were three elderly female caretakers there to greet us.   They poured us some tea and resumed making whatever crafts they were working on.   I showed Chen and Ray the various temple buildings and then we left.   It is a chore to climb all the steps but it gets easier as I get more used to climbing.

Afterwards we had a great lunch at the dirty road side restaurant which I previously described as the place where they rinse the greens on the same driveway where the baby shits

.   Yes,  this is true my friends.   I relish the greens here,  but they are always washed in some form of black water.   Maybe it adds to the flavor.   As long as it;s boiled….  I just eat it.   As usual the food and service was excellent and cost about a buck fifty for a 5 course meal.  The downside is the shit of course.   Then we jumped back on the bikes,  rode back to the 2 mile wide bridge, crossed over to the Xiasha side,  and headed to the riverside park in order to feel the sun and watch the myriad of beautiful kites.   We stocked up on beer, pineapple, and boiled peanuts for snackies.   We laid out on the river bank and just chillaxed for a couple hours.   First time I’ve been able to just “Chillaxe” in the park without having to keep moving.   Next time we will bring the guitars!

We left the park,  bought some pork stew al’ Filapino ingredients and all went back to my apartment to cook, bullshit,  and play the guitar.   Chen as usual played his three chords like a madman and soon picked them up flawlessly unlike any other guitar student that I have ever taught.   He just practiced the same boring drill for a few hours and done!   He internalized the three chords.   His rhythmn is horrible so I just have him do downstrokes in 4/4 time.   This way the upstroke and rhythmn doesnt confuse so much. Since then Chen has downloaded the 9 chords and lyrics to the John Denver song “Country Roads”,  and he just stopped in and I taught him how to play the chords and sing the song

.   Chen never ceases to amaze me.

After a fun night with Ray and Chen,  they gave me a Chinese name: “Chang Xiou Yao”,  which means “happy with traveling”   as they noticed that I am in a happy place while riding my bike.

Saturday:   I chilled at home until 3:30 then headed toward my Kiwi friends place nearby.  “Chris” and “Diane” are my occasional neighbors whom I’ve written about before.  Chris is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.  A great conversationalist.  Diane’s best friend was cool as can be.  She is a Kiwi,  but spent 20 years in Kawai and another 10 in Oregon,   her accent is not as strong as Diane’s is.   Both her and Diane are atheletes and love to run, bike, kayak ect…   They also seem to enjoy shopping!  (admittedly one of my weaknesses).

The four of us went to a fancy dinner at a restaurant called “Wu’s Brothers” and had a most spectacular time.  Kiwi’s are fairly normal people no matter who they are.   Wu’s was an excellent place and the company was nice.   Diane and Wyennis had much info on how I can export Chinese jewelry to the US and possibly make some money.   PM me for a picture of some spectacular samples of pearl, coral, turquiose and more

.   The pearls a the best bang for the buck.  I have a source for excellent pearls at prices a westerner would not believe.

The next day the four of us went to the great trading city known as ‘Yiwu”.    Yiwu has a jewelry wholesale market that defies imagination.   Pearls and stones as far as the eye can see.  We spent hours there,  looking over the stock,  discussing  prices. ect…   Yiwu is a wholesale market and wants to sell multiples of whatever it is you want.   they sell everything you can imagine.   Tools, clothes, toys, electronics, handbags, ect….  Yiwu will have a giant pavillion of nearly any product you want and will ship a container load to you with no problem.   Yiwu is where much of the worlds trade happens.

With jewelry I can just mail order it once I determine what will sell. I met many suppliers and have their cards and e-mails.   I can get some amazing things at low costs.   Being a man, knowing what women want to wear is a problem for me.   But with expert help, I managed to buy a few samples to pass on to my reps back the the US.  (both reps are new at this as well).   Who knows,  we might just strike it big.  If any of my friends back home want to get into the jewelry business,  just let me know

.  You can use the Avon lady approach to sell pearls and other oriental jewelry.

After walking miles around the markets in Yiwu we took a cab back to the Yiwu train station.  I totally got busted for having a few sharp stiletto knife in my front pocket.  The security lady with the metal detector found it and would not give it back.   She put the knife on the xray machine and I politely picked it up and tried to ask if I could put it in my back pack.  She got a little pissed and called her boss to come talk to me.  I motioned that I merely wanted to put the blade into my baggage,  he didn’t think it was the best idea,  but since hee was also dealing with some pissed off drunk, farmer bastard,  he just handed me the knife and told me to leave.   Haha..  China is much cooler about stuff like this then America would be.
