Police awarded for fight against fakes

John Anderson, the chairman of the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group flew to Beijing last week to present an award to a division of China's Ministry of Public Security for its continuing efforts to crack down on fake merchandise.

The Economic Crime Investigation Division won this year's top prize in the National Public Body category at the group's awards in Paris in June.

"China remains a focus for all organizations fighting against the trade in counterfeit goods, and all like-minded organizations will welcome the developing positive IPR awareness in China," Anderson said.
