I only mentioned clones (probably the wrong word!) in respect of what might happen if the Chinese do have a name brand that is worth faking (cloning).
I'm concerned about counterfeit goods, which is different. Either there will be Chinese fakes available of a Chinese brand, or perhaps the Chinese government will take action?
There's a difference between buying goods which are copies (like Joyo pedals, Tokai guitars etc) to buying fake Gibsons and these pedals as in the link. Not saying that close copies aren't a separate issue, but counterfeiting is purely criminal.

Me either!
I do agree that out and out counterfeits are just plain wrong. Also anyone knowingly passing off a fake as the real thing is a thief, a tosser, and a git. At least have the courtesy to put your own name on it.
