I travel to China frequently and I even have an apartment there in midtown Shanghai, Pu Xi.
The Chinese have ripoffs of EVERYTHING. I was suprised to see them selling video cards that claimed to be Radeon and Geforce with "512 MB ram" and such. You can't trust any of that stuff cause there is no warranty and no proof it will work as advertised.
They have every computer part you could imagine - and all of those parts look like higher end products and aren't. They copy any and all software and sell it DIRT CHEAP. This is actually a great place to get software. Try a working copy of Vista for just $2.50 How about OSX Leopard for $1.50?
when I was there last you could buy PS2 games and Xbox games for just $1. PS3 games and 360 games cost around $3.
DVD's naturally are dirt cheap. You can get 10 for $5 and the sad thing is, they are PERFECT QUALITY.
