Quanzhou police, working with police from eight cities and provinces, recently cracked down on a cross-regional trademark infringement after a two- month investigation. They closed eight hideouts and seized 27 suspects along with nearly 20,000 pairs of branded sports shoes with a potential retail value of 10 million yuan ($1.61 million). Brands included Nike, Adidas, Li-Ning and Camel.
