Mr. Sun Dawu, the owner, and funding father, of Dawu Agriculture and Husbandry Group Co., Xushui County, Hebei Province, China, with 3,000 employees and more than $100 million assets. In August 2003, Mr. Sun was arrested by Xushui police, being charged running an “illegal credit cooperative and lured millions of dollars in deposits away from state banks”, and sentenced to 3-year imprisonment，with 4-year probation. New York Times reported his story under a title of “A Chinese Robin Hood Runs Afoul of Beijing”. Now, after 10 years later, however, the same Sun Dawu is currently struggling to run afoul of USA, seeking for justice in his US visa application. </div><div> </div><div>Where happened? Beijing, and Xushui County, Hebei Province, China. His company is located in the countryside, about 50 miles in south of Beijing. </div><div> </div><div>What’s the story? After his company being developed rapidly, Mr. Sun wants to bring his wife and assistant to have a vacation in USA for the first time. But his visa application has been rejected by American Embassy in Beijing for twice. The first time was in 2008, and the second time just happened on 12/02/14. The rejection reason was said that “you haven’t shown sufficient reason that you will return back to China after finishing your trip”. Sun Dawu asked, “I have shown you all the documents on the size and assets of my company, and all my wealth is in China, nothing in overseas. Is that not enough to show the reason I will return back to China? If this is not the evidence, what kind of evidence do you really want? ” The consul refused more talk to him, simply passed him a rejection notice, saying this is a final decision, and no appeal will be allowed. The whole process was only about 2 minutes. </div><div> </div><div>After returning back from Beijing, Sun Dawu has drafted an open letter to President Obama, also to American Embassy in Beijing, to complain the unreasonable rejection, and also the bad attitudes of the American officials. In the open letter, he also suggests USA to reform its visa application procedure, to make it “more efficient, convenient, and humanized”. </div><div> </div><div>Contact Numbers in China: Sun Dawu, Suppervisory Chair, Dawu Group Co.
