I was looking for a product recently. I wanted to buy from a UK business.

I found countless Web stores pretending to be UK businesses complete with founder stories and convincing copy... All turning out to be Chinese fronts.

They know the tide is against them and see starting to employ some shady tactics to get sales.

At the same time the big money in China is buying westernised historic brands to trade through.

I'm not anti-China for goods and services, but I am against the deceptive practices I've been seeing.
