...rare to see a Chinese doctor blazing such a trail in the surgical field, but Huang has a distinct advantage over American counterparts. China's comparatively lax medical rules mean the safety trials he ran were more cursory than those required in the U.S., where they would typically take up to two years.

Both regions are centers for legitimate manufacturing of leather goods, so getting raw materials and other supplies is relatively easy. (Some luxury companies, like Coach, manufacture in China, while others, like Louis Vuitton, are manufactured only in Europe and the U.S.) "The machines that companies use as legitimate manufacturers are also available to the bad guys," says Timothy Trainer, president of the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition. The factories disguise the contents of containers with foodstuffs or other consumer...
