中国人啊,什么时候才能光彩些呢? 街上充斥着假冒伪劣产品,这么多年打假,打假,根本就打不干净。
In this economy, even counterfeiters are trading down.
After years of knocking off luxury products like $2,800 Louis Vuitton handbags, criminals are discovering there is money to be made in faking the more ordinary — like $295 Kooba bags and $140 Ugg boots. In California, the authorities recently seized a shipment of counterfeit Angel Soft toilet paper.
The shift in the counterfeiting industry, which costs American businesses an estimated $200 billion a year plays to recession-weary customers looking for downmarket deals, the authorities say. And it has been fueled in part by factories sitting idle in China. Almost 80 percent of the seized counterfeit goods in the United States last year were produced in China, where the downturn in legitimate exports during the recession left many factories looking for goods — in some cases, any goods — to produce. |
