Sure Trace (SSTY)

[buick]

Clubmaverick asks a good question, which I’ve asked myself, ‘why would the Chinese gov. be willing to curtail the fake product industries that have provided so much jobs and money.’ You also ask for opinions, and that’s all this is.

Although the rural parts of the country are poor and desperate for jobs and a piece of the new wealth of the eastern cities, the consumer society has advanced to the point where Chinese themselves are falling victim to the dangers of counterfeit products.

The forgers do not report the counterfeit commerce, which is illegal even if overlooked. They pay no taxes, no revenue for the gov. from that segment of society.

I have not read about this anywhere, but I surmise that the gov. may have realized that the illegal commerce creates a black market of money flowing under the radar, which probably feeds criminal enterprise and dissident groups. One thing the Commies can’t tolerate is dissidence; and wealthy, tax avoiding dissidences, and crime lords ? Oh no.

So, the window dressing is to respond to foreign pressure to curtail counterfeit products; but consumers victimized, lost taxes, and money into the wrong hands, are real problems within the country created by fake consumer goods, and they are reasons enough to want to bring the counterfeiters into the light of true identification.

AIMHO. I’m still here,…
