The fakes are so insanely inexpensive in the country where they are made that they are quite commonly purchased there by folks who live there.

Like it or not, you and I have to accept that if the PRC government is keen to do nothing about it, there's a 1.6 billion person strong market to sell the things to. You, I, others can buy or not buy them; it won't matter to that industry. The weight of "big numbers" cannot be overlooked when discussing this issue.

All the best.
Agreed. When it comes to numbers, there's little that can really affect that freight train. For me it's just a personal decision to not support it regardless.

Cheers
