Cleaning Up for the Big Show

From Industry Week, an article about Beijing's efforts to clean up counterfeiting before hosting this year's Summer Olympics. Essentially, the article implies that the Chinese Government's desire not to be embarrassed on the world stage by dodgy counterfeit operations exceeds the power of local muckety-mucks to bribe their way into lax enforcement on the local level. The implication, of course, is that the Chinese government can do more in normal times to stop counterfeiting.
