Cherkizovsky Market, Eastern Europe's largest trading ground, was subjected to extensive checks by police after the discovery of more than 6,000 containers of pirated and smuggled goods from China worth $2 billion.
What a joke! Russian domestic producers? HAHA What a joke, Russia only produces 3 things - oil, gas, and internet brides.










This has been going on for years, have seen the dealings with this market, and certainly its activities were well known to everyone. The question to ask, is why now! not why in general. Certainly a great move to shut down on hazardous counterfeit goods, which is a huge problem for us, but that is the headline, behind this, is probably a power struggle, or a wish to curb chinese imports and support domestic manufacturing. On the whole a very positive development.
