    I saw a fascinating television piece on China, maybe on 60 minutes?
    can't remember.  But it was all about counterfeit products. They said
    that it is so commonplace. And that companies having production done
    there for the cheap labor are basically making that trade-off. They
    showed authorities busting some small counterfeiting factories and
    products being seized. But the laws are mostly un-enforced. My
    favorite part of the piece was where they were showing counterfeit
    products out in the shops. There were some "Snoopy" knock-offs. On
    these bags they managed to get the dog right but the name said
    "Spoony"! No one seemed to know the difference. Very funny! It was
    just a very interesting view of how different the culture of
    business there is and the consumers. The consumers seemed to love
    many western products, whether they were original or knock-offs did
    not seem to matter.
