How to say Tsingtao in Tibetan: Shanzhai Beer?

Every bottle, can and bag of Tsingtao beer (read Qingdao) carries some slogan about being "China's well-known trademark," or something along those lines.

Undisputedly China's most famous brand of suds, Tsingtao hosts China's largest annual beer festival, and is the only brand to receive international distribution and attention.

But, China being China, copyright infringement running rampant and intellectual property rights being, well, non-existent, a new brand, Tezhi, has popped up in Yunnan and Tibet, looking to steal Tsingtao's thunder . . .

 . . . and packaging.

Tezhi is, in fact, a subsidiary of Tsingtao, the company relying on their familiar green and gold branding colors to attract a generation of new drinkers.

So Tezhi may be off the hook . . . 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 . . . but what about Chaoshuang?

@Arthur A

you are seriously racist. Chinese may copy stuff, but it's not outside their intellectual property or copyright domain. things just work different in China. Anyway, the copy will never be as good as the real thing, so people (especially new, wealthy Chinese people) will always buy the legitimate product.

but how does it taste?
