85 Hilarious Products From China And Countries That Don’t Care About Trademarks
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although certain patent lawyers might disagree. Despite this phrase being uttered by the English cleric Charles Caleb Colton sometime in the 19th century, patent law has been in existence since at least 500 B.C.E. in Greece—although the rights were usually only granted for short periods of time.
Fast-forward to the 21st century, and the battle between counterfeiters and patent holders is in full swing. This list of the best (worst?) Chinese knockoffs shows how far bootleggers will go to rip a good idea off, and sometimes, the results are hilarious.

Can you read? The title of this article is: China And Countries That Don’t Care About Trademarks. It isn't all about China.

It is written in Japanese but I don't think we have a humor sense like this. Many Asian products have Japanese written to disguise as Japanese goods.

Well it at least need to be someone who know Japanese so it can be any one, but i just one to say not every one is the same, Chinese is not all that stupid, British are not all that gentlemen every country have people who's different then the other you know...

Diversifying In To New Sectors, I See

Yep, not China. Probably why the article's titled 'Products from China AND [other] COUNTRIES that don't care...'

I lived in China for seven years and this looks exactly like absolutely every street in the country. Considering this many electric Mopeds would not be found on the streets of any other country in East Asia (all the rest of the continent prefers gas-powered bikes), I can't fathom what country it could be EXCEPT China. I presume your "not China" evidence is based on "because my Hanban handler told me so."

For me is still quite a paradox, because I have been in African countries and some other poor places. People there have access to the internet they do know how find information and things, and still coping the famous brands is still there
