| China opens world's first mall of counterfeits.
Quote:
China has confirmed itself as the 'king of counterfeiters' with the building of a new shopping centre dedicated to fake brands.
Some of the brand impostors at the mall in Nanjing, east of Shanghai, include a McDonalds look-a-like burger bar called McDnoald’s, a Starbucks-style coffee shop called Bucksstar Coffee, and a wannabe Pizza Hut called Pizza Huh.

Ok, seriously. Does copyright law exist in China? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-sto...5875-21018152/ |

East of Shanghai?? this guy needs to get his geography straight. East of Shanghai is the Pacific ocean...
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.

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.

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

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.
