Ouch! Gotta be the absolute worst looking fakes I've seen yet.

So in theory, if China goes to war against the USA or vice versa, China would win since America is sabotaged with their counterfeit products.

The Buy America motto doesn't work very well anymore. People want cheap and unfortunately most American made products can't be made cheaper compared to what China can do. Now we know why so many manufacturing firms packed up and headed elsewhere.

Counterfeiting is such a huge problem in China for years and only growing worse. It's a problem for the Chinese people too. They are affected with their own counterfeiting problems.

A few years ago, I saw a news documentary about China counterfeiting problems. They interviewed a Chinese man nicknamed the Wolf and his police team who crack down on fake manufacturing sites. He's a hero to the Chinese people. Alas it doesn't take long for another fake manufacturer to set up shop somewhere else.

I always thought it was pretty incredible how many Chinese companies had no problem at all selling contaminated food to their own people. Don't hear so much about that anymore; maybe the government finally hanged enough of those guys to get the point across.

... Or maybe it was the Govt.'s idea in the first place.

It wasn't hanging, it was the firing squad or lethal injection
