Add obfuscation by the government and you have the perfect haven for counterfeiting.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you find a counterfeit item, whatever it may be, and you track it&#039;s origin to China, that&#039;s where your investigation ends, because China certainly isn&#039;t going to cooperate.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can also do a cost/benefit analysis on counterfeiting in China vs the US. Workers can earn higher wages producing legitimate goods here in the US than workers in China can. The chances of getting caught and prosecuted here in the US are probably higher, but prisons here in the US are like resort hotels compared to prisons in China. When you consider that most criminals assume they won&#039;t get caught, I think the benefit side of the equation is more of a factor. Workers/organizations in China stand to benefit more from producing counterfeit goods than Americans do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
