    Ha, ha, ha, that's great, this gives us Chinese a bad name though :p

    Reading the comments section, one guy posts "Chinese can't be trusted with honesty in business - ever. The substance of this story has accompanied them for a thousand years of history in trading with other nations. They. Cannot. Be. Trusted."

    So many anti-chinese comments.

    it does but what I like to do is make distinctions between the westernized chinese and the mainland chinese because mainland is very shady.
    Subgrouping is all we can do until mainland gets their act together.

    That was funny, my dad bought some Motorola's V3 RAZR's(he loves these phones for some reason) from Chung-king Mansion in Hong Kong about 3 months ago and when I go to charge them last month for a overseas trip, both don't work, one doesn't read the sim card and the other doesn't charge...I told him not to buy anything there, he was also going to buy a $100 Ipad....

    It's a shame that there is more and more fake stuff is being made in China, and more and more jobs just are moving there...

    I agree that there is a lot of crappy stuff ... when i was in Shanghai i was able to buy a copy of almost anything AND I could order the copy by quality ... 1st , 2nd or third ...... every phone and computer i bought on the cheap work perfect. Last week i ordered a battery for a two yr old cell phone. The battery here costs about a $100.... i ordered it from China online for $12.00 shipped. It works as good as original. The old saying applies to all.... BUYER BEWARE !

    I heard quite a bit of shady stuff went down in Chung King mansion in the past. Supposingly a lot of rape.

    On the other hand, my gf's dad bought an iphone from HK just for kicks. It looks so fail but he used it for the sole purpose of making calls. It at least did that properly lol.

    I never knew rape shit happened there, man HK is an expensive place to visit my dad stayed at a three star for $170 ($300 reg) and he's like it's too expensive so then he stayed at chunk king for 2 days...I was laughing at him because I saw the horror videos on youtube, and it wasn't even dirt cheap ($50)...
