    Meh. I've lived / worked in China for a number of years. These types of actions aren't about "protecting the consumer", it's just anti-competitive practices pushed by local Chinese businesses by getting their allies in government to punish their biggest competitors. Yeah, the local guys infringe as well. But this is a chance to hit your competitor with a penalty while also generating a bit of negative press to tarnish their reputation. BAU for Chinese firms.
