No manufacturer allows "overs" to be sold locally in China, this does occur to a limited extent in places like Sri Lanka or Vietnam, but definately not China. Regarding the "Gore Tex" jckets in China, these are mostly North Face and the origins are simple. North Face refused to sign off on a letter of credit for a large contract manufacturer in China, the manufacturer then dumped them on the market (we're talking like 500,000 pieces) this created the market and since then new supplies are either out and out counterfeits or worse for NF (and other companies) third shifts that go out the back door.
