Very disturbing behavior by the Chinese government.  We have no idea what value the owners reported for their wines, or how much it is actually worth in China.  We don't know what the total imported amount was and how much we're talking about here in terms of total dollar amounts.  But to jail them without trial - that is criminal, regardless of the dollar amount.  And since the owners are Taiwanese, it sounds political more than anything else.

China is the country that imports animal parts from Africa because of some silly voodoo Chinese medicine beliefs.  China is responsible for desecrating the populations of many of the greatest animal species left on earth.  Do they charge any tariffs on rhino horns or lion penis bones..? Doubt it.
