The victims there would be the chinese buyers if they think they are buying the expected quality of the real thing if and when something goes wrong with their purchase.

The point is that the government doesn't even know these companies exist, hence "shanzai" - "mountain (bandit) stronghold".

Officially, all these companies making knockoffs are illegal (or exploiting legal loopholes, at least), but since the government either doesn't know about them or think they do something else that's legal, rarely anythings gets done.

As for the consumers, just about everyone knows a fake when they see it. The point is that having certain gadgets is a symbol of "status", so people buy fakes to gain the appearance of financial success. Also, the prices of foreign-produced goods are actually higher in China than elsewhere (e.g. 2 months wages for a copy of Windows), so if a cheap knockoff can imitate the functions of the real thing, why not?]]>Mar 7th 2010 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/keepin-it-real-fake-hp-mini-5101-knockoff-looks-as-good-as-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/keepin-it-real-fake-hp-mini-5101-knockoff-looks-as-good-as-the/Mar 6th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/keepin-it-real-fake-hp-mini-5101-knockoff-looks-as-good-as-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/keepin-it-real-fake-hp-mini-5101-knockoff-looks-as-good-as-the/You can see it looks better because there isn't that much bezel around the LCD.
If they just put a ULV processor in there, they can price it $100 more and its still cheaper than most 11.6/ulv laptop out there.
