Manufacture of the bank completes the list of fake from China
China in a fake iPhones, pirated DVDs and knockoff Louis Vuitton bags, rice traders Lin Chunping a trick to flood a whole new level: He invented a U.S. bank, said he bought it.
The little-known businessman who shot to fame in January when the state-run media said he had taken from the Delaware-based Atlantic Bank. The acquisition brought him unprecedented praise: his hometown gave him a prestigious appointment policy and the state media called her business experience "legendary".
Could only have what is been legendary, the boldness of Lin. Not only did he not buy Atlantic Bank in Delaware for $ 60 million, as he claimed but there is no BankAtlantic in this state.
Chinese journalists could not find a bank of the Atlantic or the registration of Lin in Delaware. He is forced under arrest for an unrelated fraud and was his appointment to a waiver at the local level to the Conference of the Chinese People's Consultative policy, the highest advisory body to the government.
Lin, who was arrested in early June could not be reached for comment. But does the 41-year-old short, dramatic rise and fall, such as fraud has developed in China, morphing from the production of counterfeits to all institutions and careers.
Last year, officers found five fake Apple stores in the southwestern city of Kunming. The stores were modeled after the iconic stores of American society in the spiral staircase and the people in blue shirts.
Early June, subject to the local press in east China's Shandong Province, a fake university. Students who did not score high enough to do on the college entrance exam for the national, enter the letters the university has received approval for the fictitious Shandong Institute of Light Industry, a true school. The students paid about 30,000 yuan ($ 4,800) over four years in order to attend courses at the institute.
A few weeks before the end, the students learned they would not receive diplomas because they are not officially enrolled in school, but state in a training program for private rent room of the institute, according to the report in the Times Jinan. The organizer of the program was gone, the newspaper reported.
Continue to come from the students through the acquisition of fillers or other evasion is widespread.
Zinch China, the Chinese arm of the American Society Zinch.com educational networking site, estimates that 90 percent of the letters are wrong in schools in the United States that 70 percent of the essays are written by someone else and produces the other half of the transcripts be. Zinch numbers of interviews with Chinese students, parents and staff created.
Experts point to many reasons for the widespread lack of scruples, the need to be extremely competitive in a crowded society to an old wise man, to be lying, be tolerated to achieve a higher purpose successfully.
It Huaihong, philosophy professor at Beijing University who teaches ethics, is concerned the policy of China, especially the gap between leadership openly communist and capitalist economy it oversees.
"Jargon left a century of political revolution is so disconnected from reality that society full of meaning, is empty talk," he said.
Lin told Chinese reporters that he took two years to negotiate the purchase of U.S. bank and the bank went bankrupt in 2008 due to financial crisis. To add more style to the story, told reporters that Lin, the bank had been running for 85 years and was of the Jews who are stereotyped by many Chinese as a superior business skills seen running.
The story of Lin was particularly exciting because acquisitions abroad are a source of pride in China, with its growing economic power. Lin alleged purchase of a U.S. bank reported that both the Chinese triumph and decline of the United States.
His claims also welcomed his hometown, the eastern city of Wenzhou, which was shaken by a government by the credit crisis, which has some highly indebted companies, had ruined some of whom fled the city and its liabilities imposed. Some committed suicide.
"Commence People were shocked that the businessman bought an obscure foreign bank, and it was still a U.S. bank. It was not even a banker," said Zhu Xiaochuan, a researcher on the financial law of CEIBS Lujiazui China International Finance Institute of Shanghai. "The message must be credible, as it has traditionally been in the media. The audience was amazed at how rich businessmen from Wenzhou were amazed."
A profile on the website of the People's Daily newspaper of the ruling Communist Party shows how strong and hardworking Lin, selling buttons like a teenager, then the purchase of a copper and gold in Ghana and invest in the rice industry in China. The profile is still available online.
Lin said he renamed HSBC Bank USA New Consortium Inc. Federation and that the institution had already 40 million in deposits at the prospect of turning an annual profit of $ 5000000-6000000 tightened. The new name has a touch of seriousness, borrowing from the London-based global banking giant HSBC Holdings, whose brand is known in China.
The story has attracted much attention as Chinese journalists familiar with banking regulators in the United States verified the legitimacy of claims by Lin. They found no BankAtlantic in Delaware and New HSBC Lin was not allowed to offer banking services in Delaware.
Was exposed when his non-existent bank in March, said Lin reporters he was "exaggerated" to increase his social status and win the future opportunities in the banking sector.
Lin is not known to have made money from their bank debt, but after they proved to be false, it seems to be a target in a police campaign to counter against economic crime.
A statement on the website of the Police Bureau of Wenzhou, he said the falsification of invoices with a value of more than 100 million yuan (ten million dollars) is suspected by many of his company in a tax evasion.

Big load brands of lead
The main players already in the process of enlargement of the inner form
Big brands across Europe to the cities of the second and third place in China that the country turned the domestic market continues to grow outside of Beijing and Shanghai.
With a presence already in the big cities in China, multi-national European brands such as Louis Vuitton and established diverse as Ikea are inland in search of new customers.
French fashion house Louis Vuitton recently opened branches in cities such as Urumqi, Zhengzhou, Kunming, and while Ikea stores in Tianjin and Wuxi has opened this year, 14 years after its first branch in Shanghai.
The move sparked the realization that China's remarkable economic growth is not limited to the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In fact, 35 regional cities, which account for 17 percent of the population of China are up 39 percent of GDP, according to the China-Britain Business Council.
"Companies that have traditionally flocked to China to deliver products and processing increasingly clear that in many areas, these products are now tradable in China itself, not for 10 years, they were n," said Chris Lowsley UK Trade & Investment.
A China-Britain Business Council report found that companies that try to serve the local consumer markets by the economic growth is promoted, has created increasing purchasing power and population growth as rapid urbanization of China regional cities. Since 2008, the business opportunities that could be found in the coastal cities of China, spread to the majority of medium to large cities.
But the competition to sell to these new regional market is difficult. Become in the last few years, "regional" and "secondary" are buzzwords among most nations Room and Chamber of Commerce in China, with many of commissioning reports in the hope of giving a benefit to its members.
"French companies will continue their efforts to China from second-tier cities, including Qingdao, Changsha, Kunming and Xi'an, across the country are planning to consumer markets in the cities of the second type supports stimulate and thirdly," Annick de Kermadec-Bentz man President of the French Chamber of Commerce, told China Daily in an earlier interview.
Meanwhile, Swedish Ambassador Lars Fredn personally attended the opening ceremony of the Tianjin Ikea earlier this year to promote the growth of the Swedish brand in China.
Such attention to detail has served Swedish companies in China and second-tier cities. Swedish retailer H & M, which only the first a store in China opened in 2007, operates 64 across the continent by the beginning of the year in such diverse places such as Chengdu, Changsha and Harbin. The company plans to further open up new stores in China this year than anywhere else in the world.
"Our business concept works really well received in recent times and fast growing markets like China, where we can grow faster," says H & M CEO Karl-Johan Persson.
The growth of H & M in China was fast in every way. The company is already profitable than in any of its other markets, according to the Swedish bank Handelsbanken, and expects that the number of stores in China to triple over the next three years. The majority of them will be in regional cities.
But big challenges remain. Domestic Competition is intense throughout the year that Chinese enterprises to adapt to the presence of multinational companies. These cities of the region is still relatively untouched by the European and international retailers have time to learn from their counterparts in Beijing and Shanghai, when it comes to international competition had.
For example, H & M is a tough competition between the regional cities Metersbonwe, a clothing store in Wenzhou, a franchise network of approximately 3,000 stores sports apparel in the same broad base has 18-30 people targeted by H & M.
Previously, foreign brands in regional cities grow by something not so far. But they were a disadvantage in competition with domestic rivals, especially when it comes to marketing.
"Look I think the big companies that are already established in China have their antennas and with the growing community of consumers in these markets," said Chris Lowsley to UK Trade & Investment.
"If they want access, they must above all via the Internet and how they think to get on Chinese search engines. It is an area that deserves attention for companies.
"If you are check boxes in the consumer goods industry, you should not only regional cities, but on Internet sales in the regional cities. Sales growth in China over the internet anywhere else in the world."

Director of Graduate Fashion Week events Ian Wright talks about how the industry can do more to encourage young talent.
How is your experience with Vauxhall Fashion Scout was influenced the way you approach Graduate Fashion Week?
Vauxhall Fashion Scout has always been at the forefront of new ways to present fashion design, including fashion film, presentations and interactive installations.

Graduate Fashion Week presents the diversity of new talent this year appeared on the scene, so there is a synergy between the two, and of course, be involved directly with GFW gives us an excellent opportunity to pick and choose the next wave of participants VFS graduates.
What practices, if any, are directly transferable from VFS GFW?

While GFW 2012, a series of conferences and seminars that will be both instructive and entertaining for students and industry. These include a series of discussions between Colin McDowell and large emerging designers as they create their businesses.
This is your first GFW - as the event is going to change? What's new?
There is a whole new look, and we adopt new technologies to reach more people. It began with the relaunch of our website and continues with our social media program and a new online registration system. An essential part of GFW is to graduates find jobs and so forth, for the first time, we will have a room dedicated recruiter. Lounge The recruiter will work in partnership with Draper and give recruiters and HR managers, or a place to interview graduates and gets among the many shows and events.
Briefly describe your process from the beginning to the end of the GFW, to us a preview of exactly what it takes to get an event of this size and nature together.
Planning began almost as soon as the previous one ended GFW. The last months of 2011 spent planning the nuts and bolts of the event this year in terms of its look, feel and new features we have introduced. Then, when we grew up we hit January, the campaign in full force and momentum from there. Much time was spent fixing the amazing selection of judges and presenters that we have on board and, of course, we have implemented a number of partnerships with major media such as Drapers, WGSN and Vogue.co.uk.

London universities are heavily promoted, but people understand more and more people, that does not have a great talent with a postal code.

Jersey City police charge woman with selling counterfeit designer handbags out of her apartment
Police have arrested a Jersey City woman on charges she was selling counterfeit designer bags and authorities seized more than $4 million worth of top-end knockoffs, officials said.
Jennifer T. Le, 30, of Clendenny Avenue, was arrested Thursday on charges she violated the New Jersey Counterfeiting Act, said Jersey City Police Special Investigation Unit Sgt. Edward Nestor yesterday.
Police say Le was selling bags, including Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada out of a Van Winkle Avenue apartment that had been set up like a store. More than 10,500 items were seized by police, mostly from a storage facility on Tonnelle Avenue, Nestor said.
The probe began when police received a call from an investigator working for Louis Vuitton and police then sent in undercover officers to purchase bags before arresting Le, Nestor said.
The bags were being sold for 10 to 20 percent of their retail value, Nestor said, adding that all of the bags are to be destroyed. Police said they believe Le had connections in New York and China and the investigation is ongoing.
Nestor called the alleged counterfeiting enterprise a “major operation.”
Le made her first court appearance on the charges in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City on Friday via video link from the Hudson County jail in Kearny.

Fashion: Why Is It Important?
Vogue editrix Anna Wintour recently sat down as a guest on The Colbert Report, batting down The Devil Wears Prada puns and teasing Colbert about his outfit. At one point, Colbert asked Wintour why she bothered with fashion -- and if she ever just had an urge to give it all up, throw on a tracksuit and go to Long John Silver's. Leave it to Colbert to ask the poignant questions. But Wintour doesn't lack a sense of humor, and so she played along congenially before bringing the point back up: Does fashion have merit? If so, what?
Colbert's query was more than satire, as I've faced similar lines of questioning. I've felt the need to defend fashion, and my interest in it, ever since I started reading Vogue as a sophomore in high school, trying to convince peers that yes, I could still be intelligent and read fashion magazines; yes, fashion is a natural place for art, love, history and culture to mix; and yes, there were articles in there. I'm certain I'm not alone in believing fashion is much more than the clothes on a model, much as I'm certain I'm not the only one who's received skeptical responses to their interest in subject.
Over the years, I've heard a variety of criticisms. To all of you naysayers, I wish I could shut you down with a verbal smackdown like the one Meryl Streep inflicts on Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada -- bless that woman -- but I don't have deliverance of that fortitude. At least not now.
I'll start with this. Agreeably, many of the prices in the fashion world are toeing the proverbial "outrageous" line, especially when compared to, say, the cost of a fedora from Target (and I love their fedoras). I'll admit that. However, in reality, very few people in the world today can actually afford couture, and the median household income of the women's luxury magazine readership falls at roughly $63,000 -- a far cry from salaries cut out for consistent spending on esteemed fashion brands. Even if one does have the money to spend on luxury items, clothes ring up at the lowest end. There's no question. But if so few people can actually afford the clothes that are being produced, what's the point?
Allow me. In the same way that most people who admire a Picasso will never be able to buy one, the majority of people who pine for an iconic Chanel suit will never feel that wool against their skin. Nevertheless, much as one can still appreciate Picasso's pieces and his invaluable contributions to the art world as co-founder of the cubist movement, one can still look at early Chanel designs and see how themes of women's empowerment and activity were manifested in the designs. You don't have to love cubism and you don't have to love Chanel, but perhaps there should be some semblance of equal understanding and respect. See my point?
I've decided fashion can be two things. It can be as simple as something you put on to make yourself feel beautiful, or as dynamic as something illustrative of culture, time and its transformations. As someone with previous fashion closet experience, I admit that holding a jewel-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit, or running my hands over a pair of Charlotte Olympia mother-of-pearl Dolly shoes is an experience in and of itself -- and one mostly limited to luxurious trappings of the industry. But I would also I submit that those who take time to see past the surface of fashion -- those who understand its currents, influences, messages and history -- are able to see its merit.
Miuccia Prada, heralded designer and head of the iconic Prada fashion conglomerate, says one element of fashion is so simple it's often overlooked
As a society, we're taught not to judge a book by its cover, yet we often do. In this same spirit, I'd urge you not to judge fashion merely with a glance. Even if you think Wintour is an ice queen with a bias (for the record: I do not) and your only association with Prada is that the devil wears it, trust me on this one: As far as fashion goes, there's more than meets the eye.
