In Asia, this business draws everyone from powerful underworld organizations with ties to politics and the military to husband-and-wife teams who brew fake Coca-Cola in bathtubs. The prevalence of and demand for these rip-off goods accounts for approximately US$200 to 300 billion in annual global losses for multinationals such as Nike or Yamaha.
在亚洲,这项“行业”吸引着每一个人,大到与政界、军方勾结的强大的黑社会组织,小到在浴缸里仿制可口可乐 的小夫妻小组。这些“赝品”随处可见、需求量之大,使得像Nike、YAMAHA等跨国公司每年全球损失高达二千亿到三千亿美元。
