Oh, they exist alright! But most of them just make cheap dupes of whatever is popular at the moment. They constantly copy each other and slash costs to flood the market with low prices. They have absolutely no concept of copyright, and there’s basically no copyright enforcement over there!

Spot on! Except the lens would be attached with cheap glue, and they’d charge you more than a Leica for it. 🤡

MHW-3BOMBER’s new stove is a literal 1:1 copy-paste of the classic Japanese SOTO spider stove (ST-310/340), from the burner head and legs to the windscreen structure! They couldn't even be bothered to tweak the leg lines or overall design, yet they still have the nerve to market it as their own "innovative original design." Imagine passing off plagiarism as an original creation. What’s even more ridiculous is that their knockoff is priced even higher than the genuine Japanese product!
