Blame Confucius, blame Mao, blame Deng Xiaoping's trickle-down economics, or blame Western companies' unrealistic pricing policies: Imitation is a way of life in modern China, and it will take more than diplomatic pressure or a handful of laws to eradicate it.

Increasingly, Xiangyang and other markets are filling with Chinese-style goods at bargain-basement prices, putting a further squeeze on the knockoffs.
With Chinese consumers feeling more affluent, and more genuine high-end retailers moving in, finding a $10 knock-off North Face backpack might be as much of a bygone tourist relic as a Mao watch.
