So I have to tell you this because it's straight out of a movie and at least if I make light of it, I can maybe feel a little less scared about the whole situation.
So I guess there was a dispute amongst a few shoe factories that we work with and somehow there was a miscommunication or something and someone thought we owed them money while we thought we payed it... anyway- we get to the office this morning and a few hours later there's a big commotion and a big group of tough looking Chinese dudes with shaved heads show up.
Apparently we were visited by the mafia this morning. NO JOKE. So my dad (the owner of our company) and the Taiwanese guy that runs our Chinese office had a little sit down with them.
Um ya.
So they've been down there all morning and Joanne (my American co-worker) and I are stuck up here scared shitless. I mean, seriously.
The police just showed up about 20 minutes ago. Apparently the police and the mafia do negotiations?
...Just another day in China I guess.

Wow! This is really something you think wuold just happen in "the street" or in some commercial exercise, not in a worldwide company.
It's like mafia going to Sergio Rossi ... Odd and unbelievable!
that is so scary/bizarre!!
So weird! Hope your dad wasn't scared, What a tough guy!! I'm hope/im sure everything worked out...the chinese gov't doesn't allow anything negative on their internets..remember the time during the olympics with all that news about their gymnists?
omg that is sooo scary! hope everything's fine over there. :(
If you are in China, they censor everything, including any pages about Tibet, or Fa Lun Gong.
The police are also corrupt, so they come in as mediators and work with the mafia so that they keep them calm and under control and don't go on a killing spree.
Sounds normal.
OMG so hope ur ok! Hope everything works out!

I hope you guys are ok! That sounds like the Chinese version of the "Good Fellas" movie! Even the search engines are afraid!

My friend was just telling me that America owes China tons of money and was afraid that China would eventually try to control the government over here... I know nothing about economics so I'm not sure how accurate that is but your story scares me even more!
Hope you and your dad are okay by now!
