It is not just a matter of copy right infringement. Many of these products are dangerous and exported to U.S.

Hwang's problem is debunked by local scientists and journalists. S. Korea did not cover it up, unlike Chinese regimes tend to do.

A small website frequented by bio/medical scientists started questioning Hwang's research and they broke it open. In China, they would have been promptly shut down to save embarrassment.

If you are going to make fake and dangerous products, don't export them and cry conspiracy when you are caught. And if you make a mistake such as getting a foreign senior diplomat killed, promptly apologize. Don't drag your feet or try to dismiss it. According to the news report, the clinic is still taking patients and the doctor who treated the dead diplomat is still working.

Hwang's problem is debunked by local scientists and journalists. S. Korea did not cover it up, unlike Chinese regimes tend to do.

Several of the lower ranked scientists who criticised Hwang initially were FIRED or reprimanded by the NATIONAL university. South Koreans were still rabidly defending Hwang until Hwang's colleagues in the United States openly expressed their doubts of his work.

My point was that faking crap is hardly unique to China, as much as you would not like to admit it. If you were a Korean who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, you wouldn't have such a big chip on your shoulder, and you would have hesitated before laughing at China's current disgrace. You would also know that during the 1970s Korean chaebols like Samsung copied everything there was to copy from Japanese companies, and Korean mom-and-pop factories in the Chollas made everything from fake antibiotics to fake Japanese rice cookers.
