South China Morning Post reports Guan Zhaojin, the former head of customs at Dalian port in northeastern China, is accused of having affairs with several overseas Chinese shoppers (known as ‘Daigou‘ in Mandarin), abusing his authority by helping them and several custom staffs to evade inspections and custom duties.
Guan was reported to the authorities last August by his wife, who has also filmed him confessing to having affairs with several women in a video that was later leaked online.
Guan has been suspended from his job pending investigation, according to a statement released on Weibo by Dalian Customs
“In line with President Xi’s One Belt One Road Initiative, Dalian Customs Take Corruption Very Seriously.”
Guan denied any wrongdoing.
The Daigou Connection
Daigou, who are often Chinese citizens living abroad selling through WeChat, also act as key influencers for foreign brands among consumers… Sounds like Instagram Stars?
Daigou have thrived in recent years, as more consumers have turned to buying luxury goods and products like baby milk formula from abroad, where they are often much cheaper, due to China’s heavy import tariffs of 30 per cent to 80 per cent.
Baby Milk Formula… Powdered Milk?
Yes, such activities have led to chronic shortages of baby milk formula for local consumers in places like Australia.
So much so that Australian supermarkets gotta limit sales of baby milk formula as China’s demand for ‘dried milk’ is simply crazy!
It is said some Australia’s postal service opened only to serve the Daiguo!
Wait a sec, sounds like we got a triple scandals here… Sex, Smuggling, and Titties?
Curiously, why would China need so much powdered milk with well endowed babes like this one …?
