A legal battle over fake goods sold on Taobao, one of China's largest online marketplaces, has been named as one of 10 significant internet-related events in 2017.The dispute between Alibaba's e-commerce platform and a cat food vendor was hotly discussed on Wednesday by experts at a law seminar organized by Legal Daily and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.In March last year, Taobao filed a lawsuit in Shanghai against a vendor, surnamed Yao, claiming he had broken its regulations prohibiting the sale of fake goods and damaged the company's reputation.Fengxian District People's Court ruled in favor of the e-commerce giant in July and ordered the defendant to pay 120,000 yuan ($18,910) in compensation.The case showed the web company's determination and efforts to combat online counterfeits, Liu Junhai, a law professor at Renmin University of China, told China Daily. The dispute is also a good example to encourage us to abide by contracts.Gao Yandong, director of Zhejiang University's Internet Law Research Center, agreed. He said the fight against fakes should involve not only judicial departments, but also government departments, social institutes and commercial platforms.Other significant events in the top 10, as decided at the seminar, include the amendment to the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and a judicial interpretation on how to handle criminal cases involving online privacy. silicone wristbands made in canadacustom made silicone bracelets no minimumsilicone wristband manufacturernew rubber band braceletssilicone allergy bracelet

[Photo/VCG] Hong Kong will issue the remaining 5,000 permits to private cars passing the world's longest sea-crossing bridge from next week, the Transport Department of HKSAR announced on Tuesday. The governments of Guangdong province and Hong Kong agreed to set the quota at 10,000 for private cars of Hong Kong using the 55-km-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which opened to traffic last week. The Transport Department of HKSAR has handed out 5,000 permits to car owners before the bridge opened to traffic. As the traffic flow at the Hong Kong Port of the HZMB was generally smooth after it started service on Oct 24, the department decided to issue the remaining 5,000 permits to applicants. The remaining permits will be issued from Nov 5 through the end of the month, according to the department.
