Alibaba's Jack Ma: Fake goods often better than originals

China's unbranded goods are often better than the branded originals they imitate, founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba Jack Ma has said, posing an additional challenge to the battle against sales of counterfeits. "The problem is that the fake products today, they make better quality, better price than the real product, than the real names," he said in a speech at Alibaba's investor's day in the southern city of Hangzhou Tuesday.
