The Indian embassy in China has asked Indian businesses to avoid
transaction in the city of Yiwu, regarded as the world's biggest
commodities market, after local authorities failed to stop the
manhandling of a diplomat S Balachandran and did nothing to free
two hostages held for a fortnight by Chinese traders.

The two Indians were moved from the police station to a hotel
under police escort last night. They were still in the hotel mid
afternoon on Tuesday. But their fate remained uncertain.

The Indians, Deepak Raheja and Shayamsunder Agrawal were
pleading with the Indian authorities to be sent back to India.

Indian officials said efforts were on to bring them to Shanghai
to ensure their safety.

In an advisory posted on its website, the Indian Embassy of Beijing
said, "Indian traders and business men are hereby cautioned not
to do business with Yiwu in Zhejiang province." They should be
aware that "when there are trade disputes with Yiwu, the Indian
businessmen/traders can be illegally held under detention and
mistreated by Chinese businessmen there," it said.

"Based on experience, there is no guarantee that legal remedies will
be readily available. Furthermore, in case of disputes arising, experience
suggests that there is inadequate protection for safety of persons."

"All people who have business/trade with Yiwu are cautioned against
doing business there and all people who do not have business/trade
with Yiwu are requested to be careful that they do not do business
with Yiwu." "Indian businessmen are cautioned to stay away from Yiwu", it said.

Note: there are many Indians who are cheating with Indian
Buyers/Chinese Traders., so Indian Government should check the Identity
of such Business Person before standing out to support them.

One of them is Shri Manish Jain who had looted many Indian Business
establishment based in India any now hiding in China.
