Very dirty tactics indeed. It happened last year on a much smaller scale with the company my wife works for. Some containers exported to China were held and weren't paid for. Some of the sales staff did the trip to China to meet and sort out any issues face to face. They were detained until the company paid to bail them out. The police was involved but looked the other way. Corruption is rampant.
The Stern Hu case IMO sends a clear message that it's OK to do this. The worst is yet to come now they know they can get away with it. Money talks.
