The point I'm making is its not the Germans, not the English, not the Russians, not the Italians, not the Japanese, not the Swedes etc. It's always the Chinese doing stuff like this. They are so used to watching what's selling, producing a "Knock-off", shipping and selling it, that they don't know when the lines has been crossed between aggressive business practices and a criminal operation.
Obviously your not getting around much. Try going to flea markets more and you will see faked items from all over the World. One so called importer/flea marketer told me his Korean Government actually hired him to sell their products here in the USA. MY favorite is batteries with names on them like Dinocell, Denocell, Durasell and so many others I really have no idea any more how to spell the real one. And for all anyone knows, the real ones are made in China.
One coin dealer at a local flea market told me about once a month a guy with a Russian Accent roames around trying to sell counterfeit coins of ours made in Russia. Many of those are sold to the Chinese since they have it so easy to get items into our country. Mexico too makes all kinds of counterfeit items and is brought in accross the border almost daily. And now with almost 31 million illigals here and many with all kinds of faked items, no one really knows what is what anyway.
And you really can't blame other countries since almost everything sold in our stores is from out of this country lately. Try to find a TV set, Radio, DVD player, Phone, Camera, etc that says Made in USA.
Although your cars may be made here, about 75% of all the parts are from other countries.
We USED to raise own counterfieters but I suspect out crime families have outsourced this type of work too.
