China Takes Knockoffs To New Levels By Cloning Entire Austrian Village

Breaking News | June 23, 2012

(Molly Oswaks)  China has long been known for its knock-offs and copy-cat merch, but this latest project is some next-level kind of counterfeit crazy.


The Austrian village of Hallstat—a centuries-old village of 900 and a UNESCO heritage site that relies heavily on season tourism to survive—was recently cloned by Minmetals Land Inc., the real estate development arm of China Minmetals Corp., China’s largest metals trader. Chinese Hallstat, by contrast, is a nouveau riche housing estate (in Guangdong province’s Huizhou city, about 100 miles from Hong Kong).

News 24 reports that Minmetals staff had been deployed to “Old” Hallstatt, where they took photos and gathered data, raising suspicions among villagers. “People in Hallstatt first learned a year ago of Minmetals’ plan when a Chinese guest at Wenger’s hotel who was involved with the project inadvertently spilled the beans.”

Many residents of the scenic hillside Austrian village were displeased to learn of the Chinese fake; at the official unveiling ceremony this past Saturday, Mayor Alexander Scheutz signed a cultural exchange agreement with the new Hallstatt, diplomatically expressing the “pride” felt by the flattered first Hallstat.

“They should have asked…if we agree with the idea to rebuild Hallstatt in China,” hotel owner Monika Wenger told News 24. “They did not.”

  • One Chinese copied version of Starbucks...pardon the Chinese lingo

    Opening of a « Star Fucks Coffee » in China

    They are hundreds of Starbucks Coffee copies everywhere in China, but none which went as far as this one in Liuzhou:

    they couldn't even get the spelling of COFFEE right.

    I surely wouldn't like to go for a drink there...would you?

    • If the service and coffee are good it doesnt matter what it is called or if it is a copy.

  • no need for racially derogatory remarks is there guys.

  • ..yes...Japs are on the same boat too... and those two always copy from each other... 

    (but i would just call it, "spreading of the knowledge")

    • You rarely see a Jap without a camera ...it is downright copying...improving and saying it was there idea in the first place...the Chinese are also big copiers but the end result is not that good as the original

  • lol...Chinese are the best at copying...

  • i thought the Japs were big at copying ..improving and pasting as a camera is part of Japanese person on holiday abroad but the Chinese are getting better
