Chang: Amy Chang and China

chang: They own Lulu Island Winery in Richmond, B.C. They were travelling to China meeting with vendors when they were detained while checking out of their hotel in Shanghai, according to CTV. Chinese officials allege they underreported the value of their wine. Amy Chang's parents, John Chang and Allison Lu, have been detained in China for the last 14 months. The winery exports 80 per cent of its wine, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of all Canadian wine exported to China, according to a profile of Chang in Canadian Immigrant magazine. I'm urging that Prime Minister Trudeau puts his hands into this, Amy Chang told CTV Vancouver Wednesday in an interview this week. The couple produces 50 per cent of British Columbia's ice wine, of which 70 per cent is exported to China, Japan and Taiwan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
