CNN
The United States name-checked some of China's biggest companies, including platforms operated by Tencent and Alibaba, for allegedly dealing in "counterfeit and pirated goods," and added their businesses to its list of "notorious markets."
In an announcement on Thursday, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) said that it had designated for the first time AliExpress, an online marketplace run by Alibaba, and WeChat, Tencent's ubiquitous mobile app, as "markets that reportedly facilitate substantial trademark counterfeiting."
The annual list includes 77 entities that are alleged to be engaged in "counterfeiting or copyright piracy," spanning over a dozen countries.
