This just proves how you cannot force your values onto others, copy right might be important in the West, but it is not in China. Just as family values is important in China but not so much in the West. China used to have this law in the Qing Dynasty that if your parents die you are required by law to mourn for your parents for almost a year otherwise you go to jail.

Hahah go to China, everyone's carry LV's purses. Makes you think, everyone is loaded enough to afford it.

So you're saying its acceptable to have your hard work stolen? That if you build a corporation virtually from scratch like Ray Kroc did that its ok for someone to get rich off of your sweat?


Theres a difference between values and decency.

Or are you going to talk about China's "infancy" again and defend its intellectual piracy? Hahaha.

Haha, what?

bwahahahahahahahahahah
i'd have 2nd thoughts on eatting at any of those places.

Lol Hahahaha

I have no word to say.

:haha: Bravo Bravo!

and while it is important for people like you to defend China for EVERYTHING, it is also people's right to make fun of obvious wrong doings.

Trust me, blindly defending a country is just going to shorten your life-expectancy.

wow, can't they be sued

This is an interesting point.

As a non-Chinese nationale living and working in China for years, I think their mentality is that they don't consider this a "counterfeit".

From what I observe, they consider a product conterfeit if the company's logo is directly copied. For example if a underground factory produces LV handbag using the LV logo then it is counterfeit and is punishable by law.

On another hand, if the factory produces a bag that is super similar to a LV bag and uses a lgo such as Louis Vooton (mis-spelled on purpose) or something like that, then it is not a counterfeit. Hence you are seeing "Pizza Huh" or "Adidos", which are perfectly legal, as far as legality is concerned.

I think similiar products can be found in the North America too...
go to futureshop and you will see many mp3 players that just look like an ipod but is branded otherwise..they look and function similiar to an ipod but is legal. Same goes for the Chinese shops above. Nothing wrong with that.

Seriously, we should let him praise China more.

I would love to see the righteousness behind violating copy rights, human rights..etc etc

don't think so, they aren't using their logos 100, is just a look a like.the name also, not the same.
