A recent joint operation by Chinese police and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency cracked a counterfeit case that involved more than 70 suspects and fake-branded products worth of around 5 billion yuan. Police in Guangdong, Fujian and Anhui provinces raided 37 illicit operations and seized more than 20,000 counterfeit handbags carrying famous brands such as LV, Hermes and Coach. The investigation found that the group had produced nearly 1 million fake handbags, most of them exported to the United States and the Middle East.
