Less than 60% of China’s e-commerce products are actually genuine

Even though Chinese products have improved significantly over the years, the country still has a problem with counterfeit goods, especially on its e-commerce platforms. According to a new report from the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, a measly 58.7% of the products sold on China’s e-commerce platforms were actually genuine, while the other 41.3% were counterfeits and fakes. This doesn’t just screw over consumers either, as many of these products are actually dangerous, which is why the Chinese government is taking this pretty seriously.
