Formal organization still doesn't sound like too much of a roadblock if you're familiar with the Chinese mentality when dealing with piracy and fraud.

But my sources are second-hand, albeit from the ground, so I'll leave it to you or those with direct inside info to figure out the legitimacy of those layers of controls in the Chinese manufacturing biz.
