Taiwan to clamp down on Chinese counterfeit products bearing Taiwanese labels

China is well-known as the mainland for counterfeit products, also Taiwan suffers by these Chinese counterfeit products because these products often bear a label with ‘Made in Taiwan’. The Vice Minister of Economic Affairs of Taiwan said that they have formed a special research team to crackdown on commercial piracy. The government of Taiwan will try to provide each local product with the ‘MIT’ quality mark. Hopefully it’s a good solution to solve the problem, because the economy is very important for Taiwan, well-known in the entirely world as one of the best producers of computer and television screens.

I think that it will be difficult to stop China from making counterfeit products, but providing products with a quality mark is a beginning. Unfortunately it’s a disadvantage for the economy of other countries and it entails political tensions between China and the other countries, for instance Taiwan where there are already political tensions because China does not accept Taiwan’s independence stance.
