In cooperation with six municipalities and provinces, Guangzhou police have cracked down on a group that sold counterfeit programmable controllers used in industry priced at about one-tenth the cost of authentic products. Sold across the country and even in Southeast Asia, the automation device is used in many sectors including chemicals, power generation and construction. With huge illegal profits, a couple that led the operation bought five cars and more than 10 apartments over the past five years.
