Samsung and LG worried by Chinese counterfeits
Imitation may be the highest form of flattery, but Samsung and LG are none too happy about the large number of Chinese counterfeits of their products. It turns out that a full two-thirds of electronics shops in the four major Chinese cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are selling fake Samsung and LG products. The stores are selling everything from cellphones to hard drives, headphones and even cellphone batteries with Samsung and LG logos.
Some of the manufacturers of these faux goods are coming up with names such as "Samsumg" and "Sammeng" which probably leaves Samsung steaming mad, but kinda gives us a chuckle.
