Disney gets help from Chinese authorities to root out fake goods（289words）

By Charles Clover in Beijing

------------------------------------------------------

Chinese regulators announced a year-long campaign to crack down on counterfeit Walt Disney merchandise on Thursday, a year before the US media group opens its first theme park in mainland China.

The State Administration for Industry and Commerce, which regulates the consumer goods trade, said the “special operation” would promote the development of a fair and competitive market, and protect China’s international image for safeguarding intellectual property rights.

The crackdown last until October 2016.

SAIC said it would create “emergency teams” to help protect Disney trademarks, and actively monitor online sellers for fakes.

Disney could not be reached for comment.

China’s fake goods problem has received much official attention of late.

In January, SAIC strongly criticised Alibaba, the ecommerce group, for not doing more to fight fake goods. More than 40 per cent of goods sold online in the country last year were either counterfeit or poor quality, the official Xinhua news agency said this week, quoting an SAIC study. The report added that customer complaints about online orders hit 77,800 last year, a jump of 357 per cent against 2013.

The American Apparel and Footwear Association asked the USTR to reinstate Alibaba’s website Taobao on its “notorious markets” list of marketplaces that reportedly engage in piracy and counterfeiting.

Taobao was put on the list in 2011 but removed in 2012 after it made efforts to address the problems of counterfeiting.

Juanita Duggan, President of AAFA, said “the company’s unwillingness to make serious reforms” was the main reason for seeking to reinstate it.

Disney is developing the $5.5bn theme park in Shanghai with China’s state-owned Shanghai Shendi Group. It opened its largest store in the city in May, as it looks to tap into China’s fast-growing film market.
