Germany's "Golden Nose Plagiarism Award", which has been issued for 42 consecutive years, is here again. The top ten in this award are all Chinese manufacturing companies. On February 12, one of the largest Chinese-language newspapers in Europe, "European Times" (German version), reported that at the Frankfurt Consumer Goods Fair, the German Anti-Plagiarism Action Association (Aktion) Plagiarius (hereinafter referred to as the Anti-Plagiarism Association) announced the list of winners of the 2019 "Golden Nose Plagiarism Award" (Plagiarius). Chinese manufacturers swept the top ten of the award and also won the special award-Hynen-Preis. In 2018, the top three companies in this award were Chinese companies, and half of the top ten were Chinese manufacturers.
In 2019, the first place winner of this award was China's Ningbo ACME Industrial Automation Co., Ltd., which copied the "Typ 2000" angle seat valve of the German Bürkert Werke company.

The second place is Shantou Hengheng Toy Factory, which completely appropriated the design of the Liebherr toy excavator produced by the German Bruder Toy Company, but the materials and workmanship used are relatively rough.
The third place went to Zhejiang Haiyan Kailan Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd., which imitated the Staub cast iron pot, a product purchased by Chinese tourists in Europe that is an "Internet celebrity".
Fourth place went to a counterfeit product, the "IS 1" motion detector. Since there are 19 Chinese manufacturers that have counterfeited the product, the product also won a special award - the Hyena Award.
The history is so similar. The first copycat country to be scolded was the United States. They copied British technology. Later, the copycat country became Germany, and Germany also copied British technology. Then the copycat country became Japan, and now we are China. Don’t have any self-blame. This is the only way to develop. Many things are from imitation, to upgrading, to innovation!
