October 21st, starting in October last year, Uganda

According to reporters, the whole event originated from a pair of poor quality.

In the interview, the reporter learned that the first entry of Chinese commodities into Uganda is a group of famous brand products with high reputation in China. They have been recognized by the local market and the market share is relatively stable.

However, driven by interests, some illegal businesses in China quickly copied and copied the same products, and even introduced cheaper and worse quality counterfeit products to the market.

The rapid introduction of African Importers and traders in Africa has made a great impact on genuine products.

This practice has greatly damaged the reputation of Chinese brands, and Chinese commodities have become synonymous with "problem products" since then.

Since October last year, the Uganda quality standard bureau has planned and step-by-step Raiders to seal up the warehouse of Chinese merchants. Footwear products are the key objects to be seized. Most of the Chinese businessmen have been hit because of the large number of goods sealed up.

Since October last year, according to the Chinese Security Council of Uganda, the more than 10 Committee of Chinese Security Council, a large number of Chinese merchants have been sealed up, resulting in huge losses.

According to the reporter, the whole event originated from a pair of inferior leather shoes.

According to local sources, Kahinda Otafilre, Minister of Uganda's Ministry of trade and industry, bought a pair of Chinese made leather shoes. But after a week, the shoes had many quality problems such as deformation and degumming.

He immediately summoned relevant departments to ask questions, which triggered the "quality storm" for China's footwear products.

In this incident, not only Chinese businessmen were affected, but also local retailers were raided, and the law enforcement authorities in Uganda also used power to blackmail.

For a time, a large number of people in Ukraine were in a state of panic.

Finally, through the active mediation of the security committee, the quality standard bureau and the Chinese businessmen sat down to discuss, and came up with a set of quality standards for footwear products, and agreed to give the Chinese businessmen a "buffer period", and the incident gradually subsided.

After the incident, some local importers stopped importing footwear from China.

Arthur Boussinger, a Uganda businessman who imported more than 10 containers of footwear every month, told reporters that on the one hand, influenced by this storm and on the other hand, he was also condemned by his conscience. He decided to stop related trade.
