The mention of any electronic product from China elicits various reactions from consumers. For those who have been duped into buying imitation originating from China will cringe in fear while the tech-savvy ones will appreciate the role, China plays in the manufacture of many electronic goods.
Imitations in China are not only limited to fake phones and apparel. I read somewhere where a journalist had checked into a "Hyatt" hotel only for it to turn out to be "Hyatt" a fake establishment riding on the popularity of the real Hyatt. Major brands are losing out several million to this unscrupulous individuals.
Regardless of these ill doings perpetrated by few individuals we should not that China assembles the popular iPhone brand. For me the best thing to come out of China is Xiaomi. They manufacture the best budget full feature phones, smart TVs, Android boxes and Modems.

Some countries are fighting hard to eliminate the imitations but it will take time to sensitize consumers. Do

When I was a child "Made in Japan" was synonymous for cheap. Now "Made in Japan" is fine work and expensive while "Made in China" is cheap. I hope by good work soon "made in China" can have a better meaning.

Even in my own country, Made in China are not considered the best. At times I have to tell them, iPhone was assembled in China.
