kind of reminds me of when you see chinese translated into english - it's close to the original but doesn't quite make sense...

China has terrible copyright laws.  Basically, they can build an exact copy of the product and change the name and color and claim it is a new item.  Honda built a motorcycle factory over there years ago and after a year noticed that there was an exact replica of the bike being built across town in a new plant. Many of the parts off the "clone" would bolt right into the Honda machine with out question.  They fought it for years then gave up and got out of town.  furious.gif
