while you are laughing your ass off seeing those fake brand names on the internet, there are already a dozen people become multi-millionaries. 1 or 2 will move to Canada, jack up the RE price and buy all the lambo for their kids. Who's the loser at the end? | 1% of 1.4 billion = 14 millions....
just saying...

You spend millions on marketing, advertisements and years to build up a name and some scrub shit copies it and makes millions at your expense.
I know there were tons of fake stuff before the explosion of china but these guys are so blatant and bold about it that its really offensive even to someone who is not affected by them.

Does the government encourage this fakery to happen as some sort of economic tactic to keep money from leaving China?

the government turns a blind eye to most things that don't threaten them directly. It leads to an ironically "free" life, if you don't mind having no rights as a human. To expats and others, such things don't matter so it can be really fun for them  Posted via RS Mobile | |
