Probably not stop counterfeit , but would significantly reduce it having domestic accountability. Much easier to do criminal charges, apply fines to property/factory etc. That recourse for quality largely doesn't exist for most importers and foreign governments to place like china except for the most serious of offences. And with things like Apple (or any big brand), they have incredible buying power + ability to resource high level of QA. That works for powerful companies for sure but once you drop in scale and on more generic goods, that is clearly another story.
