All products from China need to be banned. These guys don’t care about their own people, how can we expect them to worry about us?

When you have such a big disparity between the cost of producing something (as opposed to the overall cost including advertising, research, etc.) and the price it sells for, as is the case with established brand names, there is so much money to be made, now that the technology is there to enable it, counterfeiting it is going to happen.

I don't like China any more than you do - when profits are concerned, life is cheap - money comes before health or even lives of others. And I have to say it is the same everywhere the Chinese are major business players, like Thailand, which is where I live and where counterfeiting is common with everything from engine oil to medicine. But if this was stopped in China then it would move to other parts of Asia or even other continents.

I am not a fan of federal government interference in our lives, but a huge increase in inspection and regulation at that level, and severe penalties, are the only way to control this problem.
