<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1550751, member: 26302&quot;]It is an important distinction, one I have been amiss in making at times as well. However important this distinction is, I also agree with your original point. I have studied Chinese numismatic and economic history a lot, have many specialized references on the subject, and it IS true that counterfeiting has been a problem within China for centuries if not millenia, and in many ways to a much more severe extent than most other areas of the world. I don&#039;t know the cause of it, or if the government by their ineffective action simply allowed more of this to go unpunished more so than most other cultures, but its simply the truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say that NOT to besmirch the reputation of anyone of Chinese descent, as I consider it one of the premier cultures in the world, but to simply explain there HAS been a culture of counterfeiting in China for a very long time, and that culture is today simply extending the boundaries outside of China. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its a fine distinction to make, and though I agree 100% with you Blaubart, I also agree with BooksB4Coins objecting to a too overarching statement of this. Like I said, I have made the same error here before, of not fully explaining what I meant by saying that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
