Its business involves many well-known brands such as Huawei, but it has been confirmed by Huawei that the Huawei-branded accessories it uses are all infringing products. The case involved more than 70 maintenance points in 37 cities in 10 provinces and cities across the country.
After collecting evidence, on September 4, 28 action groups in more than 10 provinces and cities including Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Wuhan acted simultaneously, inspected 27 target points, and seized 120,000 fake Huawei, Apple and other brand mobile phone accessories More than 31 people were detained. Among them, Shenzhen inspected 10 target points, seized more than 102,000 counterfeit mobile phone accessories, detained 8 people and chased 1 person away.
