When China floods the world with illegal goods
Chinese business has been booming for close to 30 years, with the economic reform going back to 1978. In those three decades, the most largely populated country in the world has gone from a state of under-development, recovered from its political turmoil, and reached the third rank of millionaires in the world, after the United States and Japan. But if the People’s Republic has developed a real and solid economy, the extent in which it has indulged in counterfeiting has reached unbelievable levels, at the expenses of the rest of the world, notably Europe.
