Vechain Vs Walton Chain (Wtc)

China is famous for knock-off luxury brands, Louis Vuitton bags, Rolex watches and others. The products are so sophisticated they can confuse the seller, there is a story running of a guy who bought a fake LV bag in China and changed it for a real one in the LV shop. When it's coming to medicine or edible products that is becoming dangerous.
