"Last week, AliExpress issued a press release announcing the successful dismantling of two major counterfeit manufacturing operations in China. This operation, which took place back in March, was reportedly a collaborative effort with Specialized Bicycles and Chinese law enforcement. And contrary to many of our impressions, it demonstrates that AliExpress is actually committed to combating the sale of counterfeit goods on its platform while also protecting brands' intellectual property rights (IPR)."
"resulted in the arrest and prosecution of seven individuals, as well as the seizure of 1.1 million US dollars of counterfeit Specialized Tarmac SL8 road racing frames, Roval handlebars and wheels, as well as seatposts, forks and 9,500 sticker sets. Pinarello, Cannondale, Cervelo, and Trek also had fake items seized during the raid. The estimated street value of all of these counterfeit bicycle carbon fiber goods exceeds 1.6 million US dollars."

The dismantling prevents unsafe counterfeit products from reaching consumers and protects brand intellectual property.
