The police detained Ms. Qiu and took her to Detention House No. 1 of the Suzhou Public Security Bureau, located in Lumuzhen, Xiangcheng District of Suzhou, where she remains in detention.

This is similar to what had happened in Europe with Roman numerals used in ancient and medieval Europe for mathematics and commerce.

In addition, the SSNIP Test results showed there is no substitute relationship between soju and beer.

According to the communication, Ms. Qiu Minghua, citizen of China, is living in Wu Zhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. On 25 November 2004, at about 1 p.m., officers of the Suzhou police station entered the apartment of Ms. Qiu and her husband.

As to market definition, the KFTC defined the soju market and the beer market as separate markets, taking into consideration various aspects.

Soju is an alcoholic beverage that originates in Korea. The main ingredient is rice, almost always in combination with others such as wheat, barley or sweet potatoes.

First, after the merger, the combined company might abuse its strengthened market dominance to raise prices of its beer and soju products, directly reducing consumer benefits.

The KFTC, however, decided that there are great concerns about competition restriction through control over the distribution network because the beer and soju markets use the same distribution channel (liquor wholesalers).

Ms. Qiu was away from home at the time. In the presence of Ms. Qiu's husband, they searched the apartment until approximately 5 p.m. and seized several items, among them a computer, a printer, toner cartridges, mobile phones, telephone directories and an address book.
