Across China: Chinese “makers” turn fake products market into innovation base
SHENZHEN, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) — Once a gray market notorious for selling copycat electronics, the Huaqiangbei mall in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, has become a paradise for innovators.
Technology enthusiasts from around the world have been flocking to Huaqiangbei shopping center, where all kinds of electronic components are sold. These “makers,” as they’re known within a growing movement of do-it-yourself inventors, craftsmen, and tinkerers, turn their ideas into new devices, often with the help of 3D printers, robotics, and other advanced tools.
