The trade war has already started.

China has issued a ‘Buy Chinese’ order as part of its £400bn government stimulus package.

The next step is for China to stop buying US Treasury Debt or perhaps even sell off about $25 billion per month until they withdraw most of their $800 billion.

D & C Jeans? Ballstar sneakers? These names are a hoot.

Well, in looking at these, I am taken back to the observation of Paul Theroux that he often heard in China "老外好騙" (foreigners are easy to gull), but it appears in this case that also "中國人好騙" (Chinese are easy to fool) since none of these absurd labels would pass muster outside of China. The only people who could be taken in by these 偽物 (counterfeit goods) are Chinese. (The kanji in "偽物" are Japanese, I don't know the equivalent Chinese.)

If they are fake Chinese products, what country were they really made in?

Clever boy!

Also known as “Canal Street Specials.” When I was a child, my dad bought me a “Rovex” watch on Canal Street. These photos could have been taken in Chinatown NYC today.

Reminds me of the almost affordable “Rolax” watches I saw at a flee market.

But did you flee?

this poster is wondering just how many of those “fakes” are made on the very same assembly lines as the real products.

Early this year theere was a story posted that told of a real, franchised factory turning out real products, while the owner's brother owned the adjoining factory that was turning out the knockoffs. "Brother A" supplied the patterns to "Brother B", so they would be "good" copies.

Reminds me of the guy I knew showing off his bargain "genuine" Onega Wrist Chronometer he'd bought from a street vendor.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!
FleA, not Flee! Don’t tell the spelling police!

[R. Scott]

Don’t them guys have some great deals?

Reminds me of the Shrap calculator and the Gross pen I was given as graduation presents.

Weirdly enough both worked quite well.

Fake Chinese Rolls-Royce. Sell it to rich Africans.
