India hyping Yiwu incident: Chinese daily

BEIJING: Accusing the Indian government and media of “hyping” the ill-treatment of a diplomat and detention of two Indians by Chinese traders, an official daily here criticized the advisory put out by New Delhi asking its businessmen not to trade at Yiwu citing lack of safeguards.

An editorial in the Global Times, an official organ of the ruling Communist Party of China , said Indian businessmen come on their own to trade in Yiwu and the fact that a large number of foreigners do business there, itself speaks of the town’s security. “The Indian media has been hyping the collapse of an Indian diplomat in a court in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province. Even the Indian foreign minister reacted to the news” it said.
