China and the art art of forgery
these three reports from the "China Observer" give some food for though (no pun intended):
"China’s $4 Cheap Buffet: $0.8 Fake Steaks, Dyed Salmon, Gutter Oil Hotpot and Zombie Meat"
"Scary Counterfeit Foods In China: Fake Beef and Lamb Chops, Rice Made from Plastic, Aluminum Dumplings"
"Fake & Toxic Foods in China 2023 Final Edition: Endless Death Loop of Mutual Harm in Underprivileged"
Any thoughts whether this seemingly common practice in mainland China might also affect the doll industry?

Re: China and the art art of forgery
That's one of the parts from these reports that worried me most. They mention a strictly materialistic focus on making money in combination with a lack of traditional values and ethics which is supposed to characterize the current Chinese (mainland) society, plus it is at least tolerated by the political administration.Siliconeman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:13 am It is not just counterfeit products but also non ethical business practises.

I think this does not apply, at least not to this excessive extent, to HK and Taiwan. And luckily not the whole 1.4 bn population in mainland China is tainted with this attitude. But with such a 'time trend' lingering below the wealthy and progressive surface, it's definitely advisable to stay vigilant.
And, to be fair, we can observe very similar developments in other parts of the world as well.
