IDG News today reported that China’s Ministry of Commerce was deeply unsatisfied with the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) listing of China’s Taobao on the world’s “notorious market” list for piracy and counterfeit offenders. “Since there is no conclusive evidence, there is no detailed analysis, this is very irresponsible and not objective,” said Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang during a Wednesday media briefing. A part of the Alibaba empire, Taobao is China’s crown jewel making up a mind boggling 85% of China’s RMB513 Billion B2C/C2C market. China’s Ministry of Commerce is mainly unsatisfied with the listing because they feel they did not act objectively, but instead relied on third party sources. Alibaba Group noted they are committed to protecting intellectual property rights and work closely with well known brands to sell genuine products.
