Wanna be middle class people in CN buy fake Western brands, people who have money buy the actual Euro brands. It's their biggest market.

But the brands pushed themselves into a conundrum, they have statements against exploitation and treating people with dignity, etc., and on the other hand they turn a blind eye to the cheap (forced) labor in western China and enjoy the nice profits from the cities in Eastern China. So they ignore their supposed convictions.
