What I don't understand is why governments do NOTHING about it, Chinas whole economy has been on the back of ripping off genuine manufactureres the world over.
But.......Unfortunately, I shop there also. NOT for fake items, but genuine Chinese made items such as GoPro covers (skins/rubber), T2 mounts, red dot finders etc.
Why, price, (yes I know, sweatshops), delivery speed, faster than getting it in the UK often !!!!!, quality, never had a complaint yet.
I have just bought £20 of items from Ebay China, delivery 7 days !!!!, UK cost £75 PLUS postage, and they 100% get theirs FROM China
IF capital IF I saw the UK government cracking down on illegal imports rather than cutting back on spending on border force I would stop, but if the UK government can't be bothered................

That's a cop-out, it is you/we the consumer that can't be bothered doing something about it. If we stopped buying the cheaper ripped off designs then China would stop making them. Blaming the Government is a nonsense....
We are the enablers that make it possible for China to prosper and its we who allow them to buy out Australia.....
