    Lets go back to Victorian times when there was loads of cheap labour and the vast majority lived in poverty.

    Doesnt do much for their reputation as a country that makes bad copies rather than invents.
    FTFY.

    As a matter of interest why would anyone bother patenting anything these days, as even if you have a watertight case it will still cost many £100,000's to fight it?

    Wonder what the royalties for something like multi-valve engines would be?

    China gloats over fake Tower Bridge with FOUR turrets | Daily Mail Online

    'Our bridge is bigger than yours!' China gloats over its fake Tower Bridge with FOUR turrets
    Suzhou, located west of Shanghai, boasts a version of London's Tower Bridge which is double the size
    The knock-off, built in 2010, apparently cost 80 million yuan (£9.4 million) to complete
    While many locals have given the colossal structure a thumbs up, others are said to be 'ashamed' of it
