Does anyone doubt that all of this is being done on purpose with at least the tacit approval if not the outright complicity of the Chinese government? The Chinese are waging a covert war against us and we give them "Most Favored Nation" status in return. When are we going to start treating them like the enemy they most obviously are?

I am studying for a CCNA certificate, and I wonder how far the bogus Cisco equipment has spread. Since I am planning to use simulation software for my training rather than actual equipment, perhaps it will not affect me.   Until I get a real job, that is. Interesting.
