The point of the factories being closed down and the death penalty in this case has NOTHING to do with people running around with painted tips, who came up with that idea? That literally made me LOL hard when I read someone commenting on that. The point is that in China , excluding HongKong, firearms and replica firearms manufacture is illegal, save for the militarily contracted companies, like Norinco. A&K, AGM, JG, CYMA are not military contracted, and they have survived in the past via bribes and loopholes in the system. However, recently this crackdown has gone over and around all of the roadblocks but in the way by the clone companies, and now they are getting hit very hard. The death penalty could be result of hundreds of illegal manufacturing charges compounded onto eachother, as well as illegal bribes and perhaps even some dirty work to keep the factory running. In China, the death penalty is MUCH more accepted as a viable punishment in the US, so it can be registered for things that occur on a lesser scale. As for firearms being manufactured alongside airsoft guns, I'm kind of skeptical about that, but hey its possible I suppose.
As for them being hypocritical for not charging Norinco on the same things, Norinco provides China with alot of weaponry, smallarms, assault vehicles, anti-air / missile defense systems, retrofitted Soviet era radar equipment, etc etc etc. The Chinese can't afford to shut them down
