Some of the fake goods are just rejects from the GZ factories, that's why they look/feel real.
I don't think the likes of Gucci and other high end couture houses manufacture in China, think it is mainly done in Italy/France etc.
You're right about the "rejects" though. There is a roaring trade in Guangdong factories overproducing for the likes of Adidas, Nike etc and selling the excess through channels such as Luohu. I bought some great quality Adidas stuff for about 25% of UK retail there...you just have to search and make sure you don't get fobbed off with the fake stuff
