Meanwhile, the detained Indian traders in the trading hub of Yiwu near Shanghai said yesterday they were fearing for their lives as a simmering fortnight-long trade dispute with Chinese businessmen continued to escalate.

The Indian embassy in Beijing put out a strongly worded advisory on Tuesday cautioning Indians "not to do business with Yiwu,' even as officials from the Indian consulate in Shanghai negotiated with local police and foreign office representatives in the trading city, which is in Zhejiang province and 250 km from here, to help secure the release of the two traders.
