Chinese blatent clones of western branded products PICTURES

many of these clones are cheaper and almost always outsell the real thing.

Also By one estimate, about 70 percent of Korean-branded electronics for sale in China's cities are fakes.

There is an article about some of the cloning industries here:

The easiest way to clone a product is to use a "ghost shift": A factory contracted to make legitimate goods moves to 24-hour operation, churning out copies—some made with inferior materials, and others exactly the same, designed to be sold on the black market—from midnight to morning.

The only problem with ghost shifts is that they can't run full time. In the mid-'90s, developers began to build shadow factories—identical plants, often constructed from the same blueprints legitimate manufacturers used to launch their ventures. Sometimes the plans were sold by managers at the genuine facilities. Other times, local officials and organized crime conspired to create a second set of blueprints.

As technology companies became aware of the extent of the cloning problem, many began to use selective outsourcing. Less-secret components would be built in China, while more proprietary items, like circuit boards, might be manufactured domestically. Even so, sometimes a company's products are cloned even if it has no working relationship with China at all.
