Chinese fakes bully Vietnamese products on home market
Copycats of many Vietnamese gadgets have been smuggled to Vietnam from China, leaving the real companies to deal with poor quality complaints, even bankruptcy. Chinese makers quickly follow new product launches in Vietnam, and their versions resemble the authentic products, only they are made from cheaper materials, representatives of Vietnamese companies told Tuoi Tre in a report Monday. Nguyen Cong Quyen, board chairman of Ho Chi Minh City-based consumer electronics producer Vietnam-Japan Technology JSC, said he was “panicked” with a wave of more than 20 complaining customers over the past two weeks. Quyen said Chinese fraudsters also sell the fakes at higher prices with promotional bonuses, and many customers have come to his company’s headquarters to ask for gifts such as pots and cooking oil as promised earlier. “The fraudsters provide our address, telephone numbers, faking our warranty papers and even our seal to convince people,” he said. Quyen said the Chinese makers have made great efforts to make sure it’s hard to tell the genuine and the fake products apart. “Immediately after we added a Vietnamese instruction voice to the products, the fakes also had it.”
