Locals Make Grab for Confiscated Fakes Slated for Destruction in China
The level of counterfeiting in China is widely known—it’s enormous. In a recent episode in eastern China, authorities tried to destroy over 30 tonnes of substandard and fake products, but found they were overwhelmed by a grasping public, who came to collect their own haul before it could be destroyed.
This took place on March 11, when the municipal government in Xuzhou city, one of the largest cities in the prosperous Jiangsu Province on China’s coast, announced that it had accumulated 35.7 tonnes of counterfeit products worth over 285,000 yuan (about $45,487)—and would soon set about destroying them.
