　　editorial comment/note

　　Since the emergence of "professional counterfeiters", this group has been controversial. It is undeniable that "professional counterfeiters" have played a positive role in promoting market purification and establishing consumers’ awareness of rights protection. However, when some of them are no longer aiming at solving consumer disputes, but demanding high compensation, or even falsifying evidence to extort money from businesses and using malicious complaints to report for their own profit, "counterfeiting" has changed its flavor.

　　"Counterfeiting" has become a "fake fight", which obviously deviates from the original intention of legislation and the original intention of protecting consumers. On the contrary, the real problem of consumer rights protection cannot be solved. In just three months, it involved cracking down on "malicious reporting of illegal profit-making behavior" and "taking ‘ Counterfeiting ’ The central document of the name of extortion was issued twice. At the legislative level, all localities have also strengthened the revision of relevant legal provisions and resolutely said no to extortion under the banner of "safeguarding rights."

　　Li Hua (pseudonym), the owner of a silk scarf dealer in Changchun, wanted to compromise and spend money when he was asked for compensation by a "professional counterfeiter" with a silk scarf material appraisal report. However, not long ago, he approached the Changchun Consumers Association for consultation, only to realize that he could first compare the report issued by the claimant with the quality inspection report of the goods themselves.

　　It was discovered by this comparison that the silk scarves inspected by the claimant were simply "crowned with pride" and the goods were completely different. Li Hua immediately reported the case and lamented that he "successfully escaped a robbery."

　　Recently, a survey by the Workers Daily reporter found that some people are actually making "professional claims" for illegal profits in the name of "professional counterfeiting". Its purpose is not to crack down on counterfeiting and protect consumer rights, but to demand high compensation, create a large number of malicious reports, and repeatedly extort money from businesses.

　　Change the bag, blackmail and pester the lawsuit, and "fake" becomes "fake"

　　Zhong Ping, secretary-general of Changchun Consumers Association, still remembers that more than ten years ago, a gentle and articulate complainant came to Changchun Consumers Association, reflecting that the food he bought in a supermarket violated the regulations and was labeled as health care function, and wanted to claim compensation.

　　After exchanging professional knowledge with him, the complainant said, "I have traveled a lot in Northeast China, as far as you know", and Zhong Ping realized that she had met a "professional counterfeiter". At that time, Zhong Ping was deeply impressed by this gentle and professional complainant with reasonable demands.

　　"At that time, I quite agree with the emergence of these people. Because they are very professional, their behavior can play a positive role in purifying the market, and the other is to urge our relevant staff to improve their business ability and quality. " Zhong Ping said.

　　"On our complaint platform, many people directly say that they are professional counterfeiters, and the scope of complaints is getting wider and wider." Zhong Ping said, "At first, most of them were aimed at food. Later, communication services, clothes, furniture and other commodities became the targets of counterfeiting, and many of them claimed for details such as product descriptions and advertising words."

　　After handling many cases, Zhong Ping gradually discovered that many "professional counterfeiters" have turned "counterfeiting" into fraud.

　　"Some people report maliciously, not for the purpose of purifying the market, but for asking merchants to take money privately, implement threats, false evaluations or even blackmail, falsify evidence and make illegal profits." Zhong Ping told reporters that she had been complained to the higher authorities by a very strong "professional counterfeiter". Once such cases were not handled as expected, they would repeatedly complain and importune.

　　The shopkeeper engaged in cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province was threatened to report by a mother and son from Shanghai on the grounds of defective product labels, and had to "pay tribute" to 600 yuan’s goods every month for two consecutive years, until they were sentenced for extortion; A Taobao shop owner was targeted by "professional counterfeiters" for using exaggerated slogans and had to pay 2,000 yuan for recognition; The QQ group claiming for counterfeiting claims that it only needs 30 yuan to "learn from the teacher" to obtain the "claim tips" … …

　　According to the recent symposium on professional claim behavior, which was jointly attended by the market supervision department, China Consumers Association and enterprise representatives, in recent years, the number of malicious complaints and reports of "professional claim" initiated in the name of "counterfeiting" and "safeguarding rights" has exceeded 1 million every year.

　　In the court’s judgment, professional counterfeiters win or lose differently.

　　The reporter used "professional counterfeiting" as the key word in China’s refereeing documents online, and retrieved 1,382 refereeing documents this year, which was significantly lower than 3,348 last year. In many documents with a relatively recent date, the counterfeiters won or lost in court judgments, and most of them were sentenced to return the goods because of the real problems of the goods, and the multiple compensation claims were not supported.

　　In July 2018, the post-90s "professional counterfeiter" Han bought 12 bottles of imported brand red wine in a wholesale supermarket in Qingdao twice, paid 20,160 yuan for the wine, and filmed the whole purchase process. Subsequently, Han sued the supermarket to the court of the jurisdiction on the grounds that the imported red wine labels sold by the supermarket did not meet the national standards, requesting an order to return the purchase price and paying 10 times compensation of 201,600 yuan.

　　During the trial, the four effective judgments submitted by the defendant supermarket showed that Han had sued several different defendants at the same time in the Xiangzhou District People’s Court of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, and all of them demanded the defendants to refund the purchase price and pay 10 times the compensation on the grounds that the purchased products did not have Chinese labels. At the same time, the forms of evidence submitted by Han in several cases are basically the same. According to statistics, there are more than 50 cases in this batch, involving more than 4 million yuan.

　　The court of first instance ruled that the supermarket returned the payment of 20,160 yuan to Han, but did not support his claim of 10 times. Han refused to accept it and appealed to the Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court. The final judgment of Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court was changed: the supermarket returned the payment of 20,160 yuan to Han, and paid him compensation of 201,600 yuan, and Han returned the red wine.

　　"Professional counterfeiters" are not so lucky.

　　Xingmou has successively purchased 75 electric vehicles with a certain brand exceeding the standard, and commissioned the research institute to conduct testing. The results show that many items of electric vehicles are unqualified. Since 2017, Xing has gone through 17 court sessions, rulings and judgments, sued the court for a return and was punished with "one loses three". The Court of Final Appeal held that Xing, as a professional counterfeiter, did not buy or use goods or receive services for his daily needs, and was not a consumer as stipulated by law, so he did not support his claim of triple compensation.

　　Defining the red line is the key between legality and illegality.

　　"It’s a cold winter in the spring … … I suggest that all colleagues who fight counterfeiting must follow the principles of legitimacy, necessity, rationality and legality. " In April this year, "anti-counterfeiting fighter" Wang Hai said at the fifth "315 Anti-counterfeiting Forum" held in Beijing.

　　Wang Yuqi, a lawyer of Guangdong Guanghe (Changchun) Law Firm, told the reporter that from the actual case, there is only a thin line between the legality and illegality of professional counterfeiting, and the attitude of judicial practice is becoming more and more cautious.

　　The reporter of Workers Daily found that in recent days, many courts have issued judgments against "professional claimants" under the banner of "defending rights" and "counterfeiting", which are actually extortion.

　　For example, a 90-year-old man in Longyan, Fujian used the absolute term "extreme words" defined by the advertising law to make malicious complaints and extortion against online shop sellers, and was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison by the court and fined 15,000 yuan; Shanghai Changning District Court sentenced Wang, a "professional claimant", to three years and three months in prison and fined him … … According to media reports, not long ago, four provinces and cities, including Henan and Xiamen, listed "professional counterfeiting" for extortion and illegal profits as "eliminating evils".

　　"The urgent task is to explore effective methods on the basis of summarizing the characteristics and problems of professional claims, and clearly define the red line between legal claims for professional counterfeiting and extortion. Reasonable and legal professional counterfeiting should be supported, but extortion must be punished. " Wang Yuqi said.

　　"Judging from the complaints this year, professional anti-counterfeiting behavior has been significantly reduced." Zhong Ping suggested that while opposing and severely punishing illegal counterfeiting, relevant departments should also formulate attractive reward mechanisms for legitimate "professional counterfeiters", guide them to exercise their anti-counterfeiting rights in the right way, play their positive role, and unblock the combination. Only in this way can the root cause be cured.

　　Some netizens also said that professional anti-counterfeiting was born to meet the market demand, and it was the market that finally exercised the right of elimination. Enterprises don’t sell fakes, product quality passes, and business integrity, counterfeiters will gradually disappear.

At 8:00 am on September 20, the Apple iPhone 16 series was officially launched in major Apple stores. At 10:08 on the same day, the Huawei MateXT extraordinary master who had opened an appointment earlier was also officially launched. Huawei and Apple, the two global consumer electronics giants, once again competed head-on.

The iPhone 16 is on sale less than in previous years

At about 9 am on the same day, a reporter from Securities Times E Company came to Apple Yitian Holiday Plaza store and saw that the entrance of the store was still the same as in previous years, showing a long queue of users who had booked a new machine waiting to pick up the new machine, but the flow of people was slightly less than in previous years. At the same time, around the store, as in previous years, there were many "scalpers" of the iPhone 16 series on site.

"We only accept the iPhone16 Pro Max, with a price increase of 200 yuan. We will not accept it in the afternoon. We are also betting on the market now. The price of Huawei’s three-fold screen is about 20,000, and the price increase of 20,000 to 30,000 cannot be received. The total price will be sold to 50,000 to 60,000." At 9 am on September 20, the "scalper" who recycled the iPhone 16 series at the entrance of the store told reporters.

There are also a small number of "scalpers" who say that the iPhone 16 Pro version is also accepted, but the price increase is very small, only 50 yuan to 100 yuan per unit.

"It’s not even enough for the taxi fare," someone who has just received Apple’s new phone for sale told reporters.

The reporter saw at the scene that there were also some "fruit fans" who had not pre-ordered the iPhone 16 on Apple’s official website and tried to increase the price on the spot to buy a new machine. For them, this year’s price increase was acceptable, "I didn’t get it on the official website before, I’m going to buy a Pro Max512G black from scalpers, and the price increase is 500 yuan. I feel that the price is okay."

In comparison, in previous years iPhone new products on sale, consumers from the market to buy Pro and above versions generally need to increase the price of 800 yuan to thousands of yuan, last year iPhone15 Pro Max had the highest price increase of more than 2000 yuan.

In terms of the basic version of iPhone16, there has been a "break" before the sale. It is understood that on September 19, the day before the launch of the iPhone16 series, the price of the iPhone 16 official website started from 5999, and the subsidy price of Pinduoduo started from 5399 yuan, a direct drop of 600 yuan; iPhone 16 Plus (512GB) official website price was 9999 yuan, and the subsidy price of Pinduoduo was 8999 yuan. The discount was as high as 1,000 yuan.

Today, the reporter found that some offline stores can directly buy iPhone 16, and the price is 200 yuan – 300 yuan lower than the official website.

In the early morning of September 10, Apple officially released the iPhone 16 series. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus start at 5,999 yuan and 6,999 yuan respectively. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus have five colors to choose from, namely black, white, pink, dark cyan and ultra cyan. iPhone 16 Pro 128GB starts at 7,999 yuan, iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB starts at 9,999 yuan. The iPhone 16 Pro series has a total of four colors, including white titanium, black titanium, primary color titanium and the latest "desert titanium".

On September 13, after the iPhone 16 series opened for pre-order, recently, Tianfeng Securities analyst Guo Mingyu released data showing that the iPhone 16 series sold about 37 million units in the first weekend of pre-order, a decrease of about 12.7% compared with the same period of iPhone 15 series last year.

Kuo said one of the biggest reasons for iPhone sales this year was lower than expected demand for the iPhone 16 Pro series. In addition, the failure of Apple Intelligence, the biggest selling point of the iPhone 16 series, to launch at the same time as the iPhone 16 series is also affecting sales. According to Apple, the Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish versions of Apple Intelligence will be available as soon as next year.

Yu Chengdong: Working overtime to expand production capacity

It is worth mentioning that on the same day as the iPhone 16 series went on sale, Huawei MateXT Extraordinary Master also went on sale at 10:08 today.

At around 10 am that day, the reporter came to Huawei Yitian Holiday Plaza store and found that the store was ready for the sale of Huawei MateXT Extraordinary Master, and there were a small number of users who snapped up the machine online (Huawei Mall).

At the same time, the store also showcased two new Huawei MateXT Extraordinary Master red and black machines, but unlike other new machines displayed by Huawei, the Huawei MateXT Extraordinary Master displayed in the store has a transparent glass box locked on the periphery, and the store can only experience the appearance, temporarily unable to experience it with your own hands.

"We have a fixed time to display the machine and for consumers to experience the machine. At present, this model only accepts information registration and reservation, and the time to get the real machine is to be determined." The staff in the store told reporters.

Before the sale (23:59 on September 19), the official website data of Huawei Mall shows that as of now, the number of reservations for Huawei Mate XT has reached 6.622 million.

After the panic buying started, all models of Mate XT Extraordinary Master were "empty in seconds". At present, online platforms such as Huawei Mall, JD.com, and Tmall Flagship Store all show "temporarily out of stock".

On the morning of the same day, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, chairperson of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, appeared at the flagship store on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai to attend the first delivery ceremony of Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master.

Yu Chengdong said at the delivery ceremony that the popularity of Huawei’s triple-folding mobile phone far exceeded expectations, and the team is working overtime to expand production capacity.

"We can’t grab it even if we want to buy it ourselves," a Huawei employee told reporters.

Reporters in some domestic second-hand platforms found that Huawei MateXT extraordinary prices as high as 68,000 yuan/unit.

Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master was officially released on September 10, Beijing time, priced at 19999 yuan to 23,999 yuan, providing 256GB, 512GB and 1TB models. On online platforms such as Huawei Mall and Tmall flagship store, the same user can only buy one.

On September 19, Guo Mingsheng issued a document saying that the latest supply chain survey shows that due to the high demand in the market, the shipment forecast of Huawei’s three-fold mobile phone Mate XT in 2024 has been doubled, and it has been raised from the 500,000 department to the 1 million department.

Ethan Qi, associate director of research at Counterpoint, told reporters that the launch of this new product can solidify Huawei’s technological leadership in the field of folding screens. To a certain extent, this is the right strategy, because this process will help Huawei accumulate experience in developing more complex folding smartphones. In addition, as folding screen technology becomes more mature, consumers are more and more accepting of folding screen phones. It is very wise for Huawei to choose this time to launch new products with more acceptable weight, thickness and reliability. Now may be a good time for Huawei to take the folding design to a new level.
