I guess there will be large solidarity.
For other companys there would be at me. But i never forget the 316L lie....;)

Sure. The chinese rep manufacturers union already called for the rep workers to go on strike and hired chinas top tier lawyers and is raising funds to bail the zf staff out.

Reality will be more like nobody cares, some low level zf staff will end up in forced labour camps or even publicly executed, depending on the political importance of that raid for the ccp and local government officials, while the boss will bribe his way out and start business all over again.

Terrible news, hope the workers and owners come out ok. Been a long time since the last raids.

Depressing. That's 80%of my rep created preferences. Was aiming at that 15500 black dial after finding that German video review on YouTube. I hope they recover quickly.

JBF also got raided. And they still havnt reopened . They made a few RM's and such. ZF was stepping up their game with some very well made watches.

Is it me or do they always do this right before Chinese new year?

I was thinking the same thing.

Well, back to M2M to scratch my Tudor BB itch.

Seriously though, I am more concerned about the folks that got arrested. Chinese prison is no joke. Imagine going to jail, losing income for your family and then add the blowback your loved ones have to face over your arrest... all over some (admittedly very nice) trinkets. I hate to see my order cancelled but I hate the idea of some poor schmucks doing time over this, more.

I sure hate to hear this!
I for one am very careful of what I say to the TD's in email conversations and I suggest the same to others. Nothing goes "un-noticed"

Not sure what you guys communicate, but I stick to the bare minimum that needs to be exchanged: my order, TDs payment details, my address.
