There was an interesting article not too long ago (in BusinessWeek, I think) regarding this and other problems in China. The black market there is posing a major problem as it so negatively impacts China's economy...and the gov't is struggling to crack down on it and various other negative aspects of the economic boom (like envrionmental waste, workplace safety, etc). |
The counterfeiting in China is extremely hard to stop. The guys are so smart; they set up a factory, counterfeit what they want to (movies, bags, phones), and then shut down the factory, move it, and start again. They keep the factories open for as little as 3 days at a time, just to make sure to stay ahead of the cops. So the authorities here, know that the supply is hard to stop.
But my beef is why they don't just make sure these shops in TO stay closed. A shop has to be there open, for people to be able to go back and buy more crap. Do a walk through, illegal material? Bamn closed. They need to make the environment so unpleasant for them to even think about opening a store.
