One Pakistani businessman in Shenzhen has recently been apprehended for selling electronic touch pens without the required licences. 28,558 pens were reportedly seized at his company office, and it was also found that he commissioned a printing company to make a large number of books that could be used with the pens.
On July 24, the man, along with a man named Zhang Ning, who is a representative of the aforementioned printing company, appeared at the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court to stand trial. During the trial, the Pakistani man confirmed that he didn’t have the correct licences from the relevant authorities, though claimed that he knew little about Chinese law. He has expressed apology for his behavior, but the case is still underway.

I went to a school donating books for free. A policeman appeared he wanted to arrest me for selling books without license. When he found out that I was giving for free he was ashamed but not remorseful. I laughed at their ignorance.
