15. After recession Top15 - Bandit Cell Phones in China

What it Is:
Shan Zhai Ji(山寨机), or ‘bandit cell phone’, refers to cell phones manufactured by unauthorized or small-scale factories often located on the South East Coast of China. They usually copy the designs and the functions of branded cell phones and sell it for a much lower price. In fact, Shan Zhai Ji appeared years ago, but starts to gain huge attention only recently. Although at first glance Shan Zhai Ji seems to be vulgar and sometimes ‘out-dated’, compared to Apple, Nokia and the other big names, Shan Zhai Ji is actually considered cool with future growth potential, especially amongst the edgy part of Chinese youth.
