Embassy of India, Beijing

Embassy of India's response to the article in the 'Global Times' (May 29) regarding the Yiwu Advisory- May 29, 2012

I refer to the viewpoint carried on 29 May regarding the Indian Embassy’s trade advisory on Yiwu. It is extraordinary that a professor of law finds“understandable” what he himself describes as solving “the issue by force” that includes “illegal detaining” of Indians. The prevalence of such views and that your newspaper has chosen to print them makes the case for our advisory even more compelling. The professor from Yiwu thinks that “radical actions” are a solution to trade disputes. Others like us expect, perhaps optimistically, the rule of law.
