I bought a knock-off Rolex. But not exactly there. The seller was careful and kept them in the back. They had several different grades. He started at the top with one that looked OK but I wanted an obvious fake. At first China only offered low skill, low wage assembly line type labor. But now they graduate more engineers than the US does each year. We (in the US) are on the wrong end of an "education gap". This happened with Japan years ago. Look at ham radio in China. Here is it for the most part old men who remember the days of vacuum tubes and CW. In China it is a hobby for the young middle class, mostly trained engineers.
