Shanghai police seized a large batch of counterfeit Labubu toys worth 12 million yuan

Shanghai law enforcement successfully stopped a large-scale operation selling counterfeit Labubu toys worth 12 million yuan (about 1.7 million dollars). This information was distributed by the reputable local publication Yicai.

During the special operation, police confiscated an impressive batch of 5 thousand counterfeit items. The counterfeit products skillfully imitated rare and particularly valuable models of toys popular among collectors.

The report emphasizes that the counterfeit manufacturers operated illegally, without obtaining the necessary permission from Pop Mart, the official distributor of the original products.

Earlier, American analyst Mark Magnier, in his publication for the South China Morning Post, expressed the opinion that Labubu toys, produced by the Chinese company Pop Mart, have become an effective tool of China's cultural influence on Western countries.
