Cheap fake goods from China will soon be wiped out, the head of Chinese international trade said in Perth yesterday.
In a sign of the Chinese Government’s intention to crack down on the black market, there were about 1 million people employed to remove fake goods from Chinese streets, according to the vice-chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Wang Jinzhen.
China is arguably the counterfeit capital of the world, attracting much criticism from high-profile designers and entrepreneurs for the proliferation of replica items as vast as t-shirts, CDs and DVDs, handbags and jewellery.
