ZF Factory was raided

[Jayalvin777]

Chinese goverment passed in November a new copyright law that will enter in action in june 2021, my friends in china have told me that raids are common before CNY, in all industries not only on watches, that's why a lot of factories lay low or just go ok vacation early.

Here's the article about the law:

Is it me or do they always do this right before Chinese new year?

That's what I remember

annual, pre lunar festival crackdown by chinese government?

Since when did the CCP care about copyrighted anything... Hello, wish, alibaba, dhgate, etc. "COpYrIgHt LaW".

 

[focus66]

Alibaba and i think also the gate are important players in the stock market. They generate tax income for the ccp. So no raids.

Damn, that’s too bad. I just got qc pics of a ZF watch I ordered last weekend, today. Guess I got luck there. Hope they bounce back.

These raids are just for corrupt officials' bonuses before CNY.

JBF also got raided. And they still havnt reopened . They made a few RM's and such. ZF was stepping up their game with some very well made watches.

Is the JBF raid confirmed anywhere? I tried to order a watch from a TD from JBF two weeks ago and the TD said, "There was something with the factory," so they couldn't supply watches.

They do it every year... the chinese govt knows that the replica market is a big economy for the locals... they just do this to show the world ... and it goes back to normal in a couple of months

 

[krkqm2008]

Yes jbf is confirmed by my TD lucy and Eric from geek time as well .

 

[pistebasher]

Oh this sucks. I was planning on ordering a ZF JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon. I guess I can scrap that plan.

Luckily the GF version is almost identical!

I was thinking the same thing.

Well, back to M2M to scratch my Tudor BB itch.

Seriously though, I am more concerned about the folks that got arrested. Chinese prison is no joke. Imagine going to jail, losing income for your family and then add the blowback your loved ones have to face over your arrest... all over some (admittedly very nice) trinkets. I hate to see my order cancelled but I hate the idea of some poor schmucks doing time over this, more.

And in 2019, when noob was raised, I remember hearing they were in jail for like 30 days too.

We were talking on the forums about it and I rember when we started hearing they got released.

And... If noob is any indication, I was talking to KJ the other day and he mentioned "since the raid, noob has gone downhill" and hopefully this isn't a a trend. Especially as so many factories are producing so many amazing products.

Yeah, since the raid noob went downhill but also the son took over the company. In the nee law they said that they will destroy, materials, products and factories. I wonder if the same thing will apply for this raids.

Damn that’s kinda scary for us rep enthusiasts. Imagine China starts taking reps seriously and actually abolishes them.

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Jack Ma has disappeared. Do you think China will take action now ...?

I think that as up to now they have managed to avoid the abolition of replicas, even with these new restrictions they will somehow find a way to continue to produce and improve themselves ... or at least I hope so ....

I think you're correct, government always wants their cut.
