Support them for stealing another product someone else came up with? No thanks.

Re: Rupes Knock Off
So..... Everyone that are bashing the chinese companies for making a different version of a product; do you have or buy a GG polisher? If you look up this company making this Rupes "styled" polisher you would find they GG polisher.
Do you enjoy your cheap flat panel TV? Same deal. Someone came up with it and someone else figured out how to make it cheaper and over time better.
I will at least consider this new polisher as the Rupes has prove the the setup will work.

"Cheaper and better" requires innovation, an improvement on the original. Outright stealing of intellectual property and creating confusion as to the origin of goods is not innovation.
The "super microfiber madness" towel that looks almost like the German made towel is not an innovation. If its really better and cheaper, why give it a name designed to create customer confusion?
There are a bazillion products with "made in China" stickers on them. I don't see a lot of products designed and developed in China. Not saying they don't exist, but its a terrible disincentive to spend huge money developing and designing a product in a country that places no value on respecting intellectual property. Easier to rip off things designed by Americans and Europeans, pay slave labor wages, and make money by selling for lower price.
If that's a better business model, then I'll be a better consumer and go out and get my groceries cheaper by stealing them from the local supermarket.

Rupes Knock Off
The Chupes reminds me of the EMW - the Russian made BMW:
Sowjetische AG Maschinenbau Awtowelo, Werk BMW Eisenach (Soviet Awtowelo Co., Eisenach
Sowjetische AG Maschinenbau Awtowelo, Werk BMW Eisenach (Soviet Awtowelo Co., Eisenach
Another communist rip off.

Yes it does, IMO. I don't either.
Knock-offs are just one thing that irks.
Billions...No: Trillions of dollars worth of Chinese mergers/takeovers have occurred just recently...
with many, many more to come. Stamp of approval by our "Lawmakers and Regulators".
And pretty soon it's going to be difficult to traverse anywhere in the USA without crossing bridges and driving on roads...
our superstructure...that are being rebuilt by Chinese construction firms and their Chinese employees.
Weren't these jobs promised to go to our hopelessly
unemployed people, by our current administration?
Where's the American-Outrage over these Chinese-scenarios?
Seems we've been afraid of China for a long time now.
TO WIT:
"Why have the Americans not made a fuss about the fact that more than 100,000 Chinese troops
help you building the railways, roads and airports...although they knew about it"? ~Chairman Mao to Vietnamese Premier Dong, ca. 1970
Is China to be (in the end times):
"And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million;
I heard the number of them". Revelation 9:16

I just can't see him commanding, what will eventually be, well over 200,000,000 soldiers.
Or even as the Antichrist.
I've heard some folks allude to his likeliness of being
either Satanic, or the False Prophet, though.
And I have my doubts of him ever being able to
operate a "CHUPES" on a professional level!!

2 people at work got in an argument wether or not Obama was the devil, or the antichrist. One thinks Obama is putting chips in our hands that will cause the sky to open up and pull all the good people up to heaven. The other person thinks Obama is a fascist trying recreate the new world order.
