After the publication of a talk about the quality of Chinese fake goods better than that of genuine products, some French manufacturers condemned it.

According to the British report on June 16th, including Louis Weedon, LVHM, Kering and Hermes, and other famous brands,

"(Unifab) in a statement issued on June 16th, Ma Yun said that the talks were misleading, or even libel, contrary to the effective action against counterfeit goods.

Ma Yun said in a 14 day speech in southeastern China, Hangzhou, "the problem is that fake goods are better than the quality of genuine products, and the prices are even cheaper."

"They produce the same raw materials in the same factory, but they do not have their own brands."

Reported that in recent years, Alibaba has been criticized for tolerating the sale of fake products in its online markets such as Taobao.

It is estimated that Taobao occupies more than 90% of China's domestic market for customers, while Alibaba's Tmall platform occupies more than half of the share of customers' pactions.

Reports say that Chinese factories traditionally produce products at low prices for international brands, but with the rise of e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba, these factories increasingly want to seize the opportunity to sell their products directly to consumers.

Richard Jan, chairman of the French national anti piracy Committee, said Ma Yun's irresponsible remarks seemed to be a provocation, showing that the international anti counterfeiting Alliance (IACC) should terminate the membership of the Alibaba.

According to information, Alibaba is working with IACC, averaging ten thousand fake items from Taobao and Tmall each month.

According to the report on June 17th, Ma Yun said at a recent meeting of Ali investors, it is more difficult to crack down on counterfeit goods, because today's counterfeit products are better than the real ones, and the quality is better and the price is more worrying, which forms a business mode with both sides.

This statement drew controversy from all sides.

Bruce Vkat, director of the center for intellectual property coordination of the United States, said: "such comments do not take into account the negative effects of counterfeiting, including threats to health and safety, disrupting the global economy and contributing to crime.

According to a survey conducted by the immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau of the United States, many illegal proceeds of counterfeit goods are returned to the criminal gangs involved in criminal activities such as drugs, weapons, population smuggling and forced labor.

According to the report released by the organization for economic cooperation and development recently, the global import counterfeit goods amounted to US $500 billion, equivalent to 2.5% of total imports, which directly threatened employment, wages, government revenue and other economic income in the United States.

And the fake products of 2/3 come from the Chinese market.

Reported that Alibaba became member of the international anti counterfeiting Alliance (IACC) in April, and was suspended for a month, because some members of the organization expressed the strong dissatisfaction that Alibaba was the largest fake market in the world, and there was a conflict of interest between its chairman Robert Che and Brazil holding Ali shares.

Ma Yun hopes that in the next 10 years, Ali's overseas revenue will increase to more than 50% of its revenue. However, the slowdown in domestic economic growth and the title of the largest fake market will make it more difficult to achieve this goal.
