Shanzhai

Shanzhai (; alternatively spelt shanzai or shan zhai) refers to imitation and pirated brands and goods, particularly electronics in China. Literally "mountain village" or "mountain stronghold", the term refers to the mountain stockades of regional warlords or bandits, far away from official control. "Shanzhai" can also be stretched to refer to people who are lookalikes, low-quality or improved goods, as well as things done in parody.
