Chinese Theft o' the Day: Fake Diet Drugs

French police arrested six employees of a Chinese drug company this month for exhibiting counterfeit versions of the weight-loss drug Acomplia at a Paris pharmaceutical trade show. The Chinese company allegedly STOLE the "intellectual property rights" of the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis by selling their own dubious drugs under Sanofi-Aventis branding. Normally, the fake drug is sold over the Internet via spam ads, but the company actually had the nads to exhibit their phony wares in Paris -- the same city where Sanofi-Aventis is headquartered. Meanwhile, the company will continue to operate in China, churning out millions of fake pills under the full protection of the Chinese government and ruling Communist Party.
