I don't want to belittle mainlands accomplishments but it's a can of worms - Ripping off IP is everywhere - There is zero respect for foreign IP and the Bureaucracy does nothing to stop it - they probably encourage it - it's disgusting.
STIHL is a leading German manufacturer of chainsaws and other power tools...it just shows how broadbased the IP rip off goes

The STIHL brand is registered in more than 160 countries.

Moreover, STIHL has applied for border seizures with a number of Customs authorities in the EU to prevent unauthorised imports and exports of products and parts.

Infringements are prosecuted by lawyers and detectives in China, in particular. The search for forgeries extends to exhibitions, the Internet and trade magazines.

STIHL achieved its most recent success at the end of 2008 in the case of the Chinese manufacturer, Swool Power Machinery Co Ltd, that was sued by STIHL in a Chinese court for a patent infringement.
