Quote:Absolutely, you can't compete with China.
Not on price you can't, you can on quality. Cheap lead-based paint on children's toys anyone?
Quote:The only solution is to cooperate with them.
Cooperate with them and they'll have a shoddier knocked-off version of your product on the market within a few days, most likely using your advertising material to sell it.
At the risk of sounding racist, the idea of intellectual copyright doesn't seem to exist in China. In Japan it does, very much so, it just goes to show how different the two cultures are. Imagine if a Captured Taboo's type suit was available from, say, Nikon or Toyota. Would you trust your life to a no-name Chinese copy because it cost a quarter of the price?
