chinese counterfeitng

Having traveled to China many times relative to manufacturing, you do need the stay on top of quality more so than in Korea and other countries. It is somewhat country specific as you don’t make quality product overnight. It took Japan many years to reach their high level of quality! I would put most Korean branded products well ahead of Chinese products. Given time, China will no doubt reach the quality level of South Korea as their population become more educated. Yes, there are quality products coming out of China but the question centered on fake products.

These guys make a very nice Scotch.     Pissed off the great Scottish Scotch 
Makers.  There should be rules built into the hart.   But who Has a hart today

I can name manufacturers whose products are not Chinese. Schiit Audio only uses Chinese Wall Worts, everything else is bespoke by Americans in California.
High Fidelity Cables in Texas hand-makes each unit.
As for Chinese products, a friend of mine is in the industry.
He has toured Chinese manufacturing for the line of Plasma TVs he was importing. He said the facility was very modern and used robotic equipment, and probably did a better job than an American factory. That was 20 years ago.
Folks, we live in a global economy and China is a producer, whilst we are consumers.
When I was growing up (born only 12 years after WWII), the punchline to any joke about quality manufacturing was "Made in Japan".

The best amp I ever owned was Chinese (Dussun) and even they warned buyers about gray market stuff. It's pretty hard to tell the fake stuff.
