Police in Nanjing, in East China’s Jiangsu province, have seized 120,000 cartons of counterfeit Amway products worth more than 140 million yuan ($23 million), the biggest case since the US company entered the Chinese market in 1995.
A report on the official website of People's Daily, www.people.com.cn, said that nine sites were raided on April 2, with fake products seized and seven suspects arrested.
Police then moved into seven provinces and destroyed various production and sales sites.
