There's a difference between cheap generic knock-off and a clone designed to rip-off the buyer by lying about specifications. Generic brands acknowledge what they are and the customer generally knows and can at least expect it to do or be what it says on the tin. What I find most distasteful is that manufacturers there, seemingly especially in electronics and chemical products, don't even bother with that or any semblance or that - "If I get one over on you and don't get caught, good on me / I got caught, you mad bro? what are you going to do, lol." attitude. It's the difference between doing the best you can to provide something like a more expensive product and actively seeking to defraud your customer and not caring. the fact that it's seemingly so pervasive doesn't help matters or reputations of legitimate players.
