Spanish Chinese Shoe Traders Were Searched For &Nbsp; Suspected Western Shoe Dealers Colluded With The Police.

On November 29th, according to the Spanish union times, since the ELECHE shoe city incident took place last week, the entire Alicante area has been in a state of panic, and the Spanish police's raid continues.

It was not until November 25th when the Chinese Embassy in Spain sent a note to the western government about the incident that the Western police stopped the search operation.

The Chinese Embassy sends a diplomatic note to the Alicante police.

It is reported that in the whole incident, the Spanish police search in ELECHE spread to 10 Chinese businessmen.

ALICANTE the police received high attention after receiving the diplomatic note from the Chinese embassy.

Police said the action was not directed at Chinese businessmen, but because someone accused ELECHE of having a suspect in selling counterfeit products, and four Spanish Company were suspected of being involved in the operation.

Chinese business district has gradually returned to normal operation.

The position and diplomatic action of Chinese embassies and consulates in West China made a momentant turn in the situation of ELECHE.

First of all, the west police continued a week's search and arrest operations. According to Mr. Lei Jin Miao, the 23 people who were taken away by the police were released all day ago. Similar incidents have not happened since that day.

At the same time, many overseas Chinese heard the news of the police, and the people gradually became calm.

For a few days, the people who were involved in the incident or depressed, angry or anxious, and the businesses that had not yet been affected, were on pins and needles, day and night.

It is understood that the majority of ELECHE shoe traders and other businesses are now operating normally, although the business has been affected, but the entire business district gradually restored to the past weather.

However, the parties said that the incident is still under investigation.

Overseas Chinese suspect that there is a collusion between the West shoe merchants and the police.

Although the incident has come to an end for a while, the embassy has also come to a mediator, but it does not mean that the problem has been thoroughly and fundamentally solved.

President Lei Jin Miao said it was obvious that the police had stopped acting on the surface, but it was hard to guarantee that there would be no next time.

At present, the overseas Chinese community is generally doubting whether there is a certain degree of tacit agreement between the Spanish shoe makers and the government and the police. The police have committed illegal acts in the enforcement process, and they have cooperated with the local shoe manufacturers in Spain, but there has been no ransom or extortion.

He said that it is now certain that the cause of the incident is due to the fact that local enterprises have made the case to the provincial government through a certain legal means. The local government has conducted a large-scale search of Chinese shoe traders through law enforcement departments.

When asked about the shoes that had been copied, Lei Jinmiao said, according to the lawyer's instructions, this requires the cost of warehousing and storage, and it involves complicated legal procedures. No matter whether the lawsuit wins or not, the court will never pay for any party.

At present, Chinese businessmen can only follow the legal procedures regularly, and this process is very long. In this sense, things are far from over.

Therefore, those shoes should not be returned to the parties as soon as possible, at least until the result of the court decision.

Chinese businessmen rethink: "we need lessons."

Lei Jinmiao reminded us: "we need to have a good lesson." he said the crux of the problem lies in the Chinese businessmen themselves.

Lei Jinmiao knows this about counterfeiting and infringement.

Although most Chinese businessmen abide by the law and abide by the law and do business honestly, they do not exclude the phenomenon that a small number of Chinese businessmen violate the rules of profit making. They even knowingly violate the intellectual property rights of others.

Lei Jin Miao disclosed that although the Chinese products implicated in Spain were registered in Spain, the products of the Spanish people were also suspected of being counterfeited by Chinese businessmen. But generally speaking, Chinese businessmen do need to know the legal knowledge of their country. For example, the same product, there are three Chinese businessmen registered in Spain at the same time, and the registration fee only needs ten euros.

He said that it is necessary for Chinese businessmen to attend classes. The so-called "class" has two meanings: on the one hand, Chinese businessmen should learn the specific contents of intellectual property, and produce or sell products that are counterfeited by other enterprises, especially trademarks, which must not be copied.

Another implication of "class" is that the law-abiding Chinese businessmen should take up legal weapons and safeguard their due intellectual property rights.

He said, of course, due to the particularity of overseas business environment, overseas Chinese community can seek help through special channels such as public relations when necessary, but the premise is that it must be lawful.

In addition to learning about the common sense of intellectual property rights, many of our overseas Chinese also need to update their inherent knowledge. Some Chinese businessmen do not go online and do not know the modern business knowledge such as corporate identity. If this situation is not improved, then it is hard to say whether we can keep up with the trend and continue to make plain money in the fierce competition.
