Yang Xueshan, deputy minister of the industry and information technology, expressed support for the imitation of copyrighted products in a news briefing yesterday. Yang said that producers of knock-offs should pay for what they had copied from other products, but that he still supported the manufacturing of cheap knock-offs or "shanzhai" products because imitation can give rise to innovation.
