And, 67% of those counterfeit products were manufactured in China [\u2026], according to data on goods seized worldwide between 2008 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Global counterfeit trade, considered a \u201csoft crime\u201d by the UNODC, is made up of seemingly innocuous items like knock-off designer handbags and watches, but also includes more dangerous goods like fake medicine or toxic toys. Since its emergence as the world\u2019s factory, China has developed a reputation for exporting fake, dangerous goods from pesticides, to fatal diet pills, cold medicine and herapin, a blood thinner, that killed 81 in the US in 2008. Recently, US custom regulators have charged companies for selling counterfeit made-in China toys with dangerous levels of lead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more on <a href=\"http:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/china\/counterfeit-goods\/\">counterfeit goods<\/a>, see &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2012\/06\/the-status-fakery-china\/\">The Status of Fakery in China<\/a>&#8216; at CDT, and <a href=\"http:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2012\/06\/the-status-fakery-china\/\">Stan Abrams on the often ignored distinction between fakery and counterfeiting<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a new report from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, 68 percent of all counterfeit goods seized globally\u00a0between 2008 and 2010 were manufactured in China.
