I don't mean to say that the PRC is the sole source of counterfeiting (Indeed, an outfit in China, but controlled in Taiwan and Japan, managed to "clone" an entire company, right down to business cards and order forms.)

However the majority of counterfeiting does occur in the most fertile, favorable place for such a thing on the planet, the PRC.

Politics. History. Culture. Attitudes. Work force. Absence of law enforcement.

It's all there in the People's Republic to a degree simply not found anywhere else.

Perhaps the lack of Marxism-Leninism nonsense in the curriculum and an understanding that the rest of the world doesn't give a damn about the "reality" that the CPC has put into place?
