You hear alot of talk from Chinese that Vietnamese monkey can't make squat. They can't make nothing...etc.
Why Chinese fake made in Vietnam products for? Is made in Vietnam product superior? Can you tell your Chinese fellows stop faking made in Vietnam.
With Vietnamese consumers turning their back on poor quality Chinese goods, many made-in-China products are being distributed in the Southeast Asian country under fake labels claiming they are locally manufactured.
The fake products can easily dupe consumers as they have attractive and eye-catching designs and packaging, according to an official from a government-run committee that combats smuggling and trade fraud known as Committee 389.
“The substandard products are sold to Vietnamese consumers at high prices and without warranty,” the official said. “They dampen the domestic manufacturing sector.”
A wide variety of Chinese products are being sold as ‘made in Vietnam,’ from footwear and cosmetics to consumer appliances and electronics.
The counterfeit products either have their made-in-China stamps and labels replaced in Vietnam, or have the bogus labels stamped upon them during the production process in China, according to Committee 389.
The Ho Chi Minh City market surveillance agency has recently detected a batch of products including more than 3,000 items of clothing, footwear, purses, and mobile devices. The products were stored in large sacks and have famous brand names such as Nike, Gucci, and Versace.
But officers found that around 1,500 pairs of Nike shoes have made-in-Vietnam labels placed along with stamps saying they were actually manufactured in China.

Committee 389 has also caught four trucks carrying 100 tons of goods from China to a northern province.
The products, including apparel, motorbike parts, electric bicycles and home appliances, were all made in China but many of them feature fake Vietnamese-made labels, according to officials.

Some of the home appliance products even have the fake labels saying that they were made in Hanoi’s outlying district of Ha Dong and bear bogus conforming-to-regulations stamps.

It is much easier to alter the product origin for products like clothes and footwear. To turn a Chinese shirt into a made-in-Vietnam one, all it takes is placing a fake label on it.
Most of the products available at Kim Bien or An Dong markets in Ho Chi Minh City are Chinese-made, but traders always claim they were manufactured locally.
The Ho Chi Minh City market surveillance agency has seized thousands of fake labels of Vietnamese and famous international brands from traders at Tan Binh market who placed them on Chinese products to dupe consumers.
