    Chinese Authorities Probe FedEx Package Containing Firearm

    Aug 19, 2019

    Authorities in eastern China’s Fujian province are investigating a parcel shipped from the United States after it was found to contain a firearm.

    In a statement Sunday, the Jin’an District branch of Fuzhou’s public security bureau said the parcel was mailed from an American client using FedEx’s courier service to a local sporting goods company, without elaborating. Police have taken custody of the weapon as they continue their investigation.

    The incident involving FedEx comes over two months after the American logistics company apologized to Chinese telecom giant Huawei for rerouting several of its packages without authorization. State-run news outlet Global Times reported last month that FedEx had delayed the delivery of more than 100 Huawei packages to the company’s offices in China, slights that could warrant inclusion on the Ministry of Commerce’s “unreliable entities” list. (Image: VCG)
