When Chinese Rip Offs Go Too Far: 40 Side-By-Side Pictures Of Paris, And Its Chinese Knockoff Look Awfully Similar

No lift in Chinese one

Notice all the brides and grooms in the Chinese picture? :-) Oh, and this Chinese one is, IMO, hideous. Also, to be specific, the bottom one isn't in Paris. It's the Fountain of Apollo in the gardens at Versailles, and it looks awful in this picture because of the weather. It's actually really bright and beautiful.

F***k'n laser beams

i like more china in this one

That's spooky. One of my favorite places in Paris. Honestly these guys have done a pretty good job. Well if this keeps the people in the region ... why not. Although I would prefer a more individual, creative and own architecture. But IF you make a copy then make it good. Mission completed.

Geez, because nobody takes couple pics by the Eiffel tower

Paris one is more romantic

Would be better with a little variety and star-like street layout.

Chinese statue has better abs, but the Parisian one has better calves, lol

how is `this a rip-off?

Many places look like this

Looks like they could use a few more AC units in China

Originally planned as a city for around 10,000 inhabitants, the current population of Tianducheng is estimated at around 2,000 people, many of whom are working on a nearby French-themed amusement park.

Parisians would rather DIE than hang their laundry outside. In fact, I think they can get a fine for doing it.

Bottom : Versailles

It just sad, that people on the bottom picture, in real Louvre, seems to be more intrested in taking selfies with it, then actually looking at the painting...

Paris is so paved, it's kind of depressing.

Again. Only resemblance is that both buildings are....buildings

Absolutely. Paris 12 points, China 2 points for trying. In this case nothing compares to the elegant grace of the original

The boy grew up by the time China copied it :D

looks like the Queen of England has been visiting China

Not the same size ^^

Yeah. At least some real life situation .... some garbage and stuff. 10 points for the copy.

The Chinese one- I'm a little robot teapot, short and with the feet of a duck...

Bottom : Versailles

The replicas in China are 1:3 scale.

How dare China have lampposts?!

Notice a certain lack of original artistry, or even vested time in reproduction here in the chinese copies. They could vreate so much more if they put the time in.

Not even close.

Wow, there are humans in China too? What a ripoff!

Both female... other than that...

OMG that floor!!! what were they thinking??

First Also those are everywhere. Literally go to a target anywhere and you'll find them out front this is no knockoff

Maaaan...

OMG ... the look of the lady in red. Absolutely nailed it. I will print this pic as a poster ... hahaha ... made my day.

C'mon... they're both trees... that's it.

a 49er hat? Really?

Both made in china!
