Some 79% of all EC customs cases involving the seizure of counterfeit goods are sourced to China, and 81% of those entering the US - <a href="http://foarp.blogspot.com/2008/04/eipin-windsor-counterfeiting-and-china.html" rel="nofollow">although these stats should be treated with some caution</a>.

I don't know how many people I still run into today who think that China has no IP laws, or if it does, has no enforcement. It boggles my mind sometimes.

I just don't think it will work there so well. I agree with you. I don’t know how many people I still run into today who think that China has no IP laws, or if it does, has no enforcement.
