Minister of Economic Affairs Shen Jong-chin (沈榮津) on Friday told lawmakers that the ministry was aware of eight recent instances of Chinese-made socks being falsely labeled and sold as socks made in Taiwan. How many more products made in China are being passed off as made in Taiwan? On a national level, the authorities should crack down on companies that import China-made products and slap fake labels on them. However, even without a free economic zone, a slew of incidents involving falsely labeled Chinese goods being re-exported were recorded from January to July, Taipei customs officials said last month. This is a much more serious offense than selling falsely labeled Chinese products domestically.
