China leads the world in counterfeit, pirated products: U.S. report

China leads the world in counterfeit and pirated products, the office of U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in a report on Tuesday which identified WeChat, China’s most popular chat app, as “one of the largest platforms for counterfeit goods.”
