I feel since China has been oppressed and kept in the dark about technology and refused to think open minded philosophically because of atheistic mentallity and freely they are still unable to exit that state of mind. They still live in Chinese superstition, but they copy western style classical, jazz and pop music. nothing really to original. The Chines Traditional Medicine is wonderful and is spreading throughout the world. Their traditional chinese folk music is awesome, so is their wide repetoire of chinese cooking recipes. The art of Tai Chi, and Kung Fu has been a wonderful on going contribution to the world. But when it comes to technology, they create things that are cheaply mad and complicated. I can change an electrical outlet or lamp bulb socket in America in a few minutes, but I watched my Chinese friend do it and their designs are complicated for outlets, instead of following western type models.
why do foreign countries continue to do business with china? foreign govts sign imbalanced trade deals with china sending our jobs and consumer dollars to china. in some cases they send our tax dollars to china as well. stop doing business with china until they start to play fair. very simple.
These fake foreign brands are only marketed within China, so it's not clear that there is any actual damage to foreign countries. The only people being tricked are Chinese consumers.
I agree with you because I have seen Chinese people being overcharged even for name brand items, like cameras. I get can a Samsung camera cheaper in America then in China. I paid 4 times amount for Canon scanner printer in China. So China is importing some genuine products but what they sell it for is outrageous. $14 U.S. dollars or 89 RMB for 4 triple edge shick razors.
it has been in the news that although China exports and sells whole sale to American retailers China companies only make about 16% of the profit the American retailers make. So look at what American retailers are doing and cast the stones at them. Similarly in China, what you pay for foreign products is outrageous because Chinese people love being westernized. You should see how many Chinese women even ones with low income dress. They are so fashionable and trendy compared to American women.
Many foreigners are naive and short-sighted. The whole set of corrupted practices is supported by local and central governments. No company of reasonably sized business is really "private". It is in the culture, in Chinese mind set to be a "pirate". Selling fakes in the domestic market, prevents the entrance of genuine foreign brands, and provides a political excuse for keeping Chinese domestic market relatively closed for foreigners. The whole culture is based on what we call "corruption". But in Chinese mind, corruption has quite different meaning. Also, we are facing a corporate model mind taking over the world. China is just a new born corporation that wants to enter the club, but likes to play by its own rules (read no rules). What good China has is from its past. This country contribution to the values of growing world for the last few hundred years is 0. IT takes and gives nothing in return. It breaks all ethical and moral rules we know of, and brands its behaviour as "Chinese characteristic". The average Chinese is really happy when she succeed to trick a system or a person to her own advantage. Creating sth new doesn't even cross a Chinese mind. All we hear is EXCUSES. We are getting stupid and we will suffer the consequences. Too much power in the hands of a primitive mind. We are horing ourselves for cheep junk, instead transforming our societies to the next higher level of living and working.
China is the Chinese medicine that will shake the world-it exposes all our ills in a day light. Hopefully after suffering enough, we will be healed.
The girl who said the they were still making a profit on a 90% discount must have got fired for attempting to save face. I can see why they can register in HK and be called "Foreign" Even the Chinese people know HK is not really a part of China.
Mr. Lloyd and others,
Two things.
1) The average mark-up on clothing all over the world is 700%. That is why clothing stores can offer 60% off and still make a profit.
2) People, where do you think these clothes are made? Everyone registers their tradename in developed countries, but the factories making this stuff are located in poor Asian countries. I can't think of the name of the famous company who owns all of the popular clothing brand names, but they don't own or operate one single factory that produces their clothes. Man, what is that name? I think it's VF Corp. Maybe Adidas Group. It's on the tip of my tongue. The point is, you're buying Chinese made clothing whether you like it or not.
Disgusting...being one Italian Citizen i am outraged.. I don't know why Chinese who claim to have 5000 years of culture aren't able to produce anything original...
in my opinion, it is not directly connection betweent 5000 years of culture and orignial production, culture is past, but now, we admit that italy is one of the top fashion country in the world, more and more chinese people like and accept italy style, it is fashion. For the other side, as the economy development, more and more chinese people would spent much more mony to improve his/her living standard, buying fashion clothes and so on, and do you think which country's clothes the rich chinese guy will choose? yes, italy. so the fakely brand also stimulate the rich guy to buy your country's product, by the way, the rules work for every country, if we imitate your's country, your country can benefit from my country. it seems not make sense, but it is the truths.
you in the pockets of said italian merchants trying to protect their bottom line from chinese entrepreneurial spirit? otherwise calm down. they are making up brands, not blatantly conterfeiting existing ones. It's a victimless crime if you will, and an original and creative move at that. If you have to feign outrage, at least recognize the only victims are the chinese who have to pony up for the goods.
