Default unbelievable story

I've been doing a little research on a potential supplier and I uncovered the most unbelievable tale I ever heard.

Allegedly the execs of this company were kidnapped in the middle of the night by Shenzhen police and sre still in prison to this day with no contact to any of their family or charges pressed.

I'll place some links so you can see the story


this was the first place I cane across it

Due to the development of China in the last 10 years people forget that in essence China is still a communist country.

There is a huge difference between communism and democracy and people need to bear this in mind when they deal with communist countries.

This is strange, as I remember this company very well. We did a few orders with them, a long time ago.

I received an email months ago, as did a few other members here. It told this story and they asked for our support (their customers). There were also a number of pictures attached. Which basically showed a number of offices that had been trashed, with computers all over the place.

Its a shocking to think that things like this are actually going on.
