OPINION:

From my point of view, from one hand, I think that it is not fair the fabrication of fake trademarks products, because the brand doesn’t win anything for its own work. That’s the reason why I think that the Chinese police did an excellent job with the raids. From another hand, I think that the head of the company which did all the counterfeits did such a good action when it comes to admit the wrong thing he had committed.

VOCABULARY:
