The investigation was likely well under way before Trump soured relationships, and I?d like to believe that Chinese law enforcement would not shut down a prosecution just because it might send a political F.U to America. China might also be wanting to send a message they care about intellectual property and do not condone this sort of counterfeiting- we heard of it over here, so there?s PR value to it.

I don?t really know this Weijiang company?s products but they looked to be all Bayverse movie reproductions rather than their own designs. So it?s pretty blatant, unlike some third party which homages certain characters but at least is new design. I think I see a Masterpiece G1 Megatron too, so maybe they did the MP KO?s ?
