However, after multiple verifications, the author speculates that its actual sales may be astronomical.

40 Years of Counterfeits in China

A look at China's commercial history reveals that counterfeits emerged almost simultaneously with the reform and opening-up. During the planned economy era, factories were either collectively or state-owned, leaving little incentive for profit, so counterfeits were rare. As China transitioned to a market economy, individuals could establish companies for production, processing, and sales, leading to a surge in demand and shortages, which, combined with the pursuit of economic benefits, caused a proliferation of knockoffs and fakes. The article traces the evolution of counterfeits from low-end to high-end, from offline to online, and examines the underlying logic, including economic development, consumer demand, low manufacturing barriers, and price and cognitive factors.
