**Counterfeit Bottled Water Factory Busted, Three Charged with Fraud** In a recent crackdown, authorities in Leiyang, Hunan Province, uncovered an underground operation producing counterfeit bottled water labeled as the popular brand "Yibao." The Leiyang City People's Procuratorate has filed criminal charges against three suspects—Liu, Huang Bin, and Huang Nong—for the crime of manufacturing and selling substandard products. A public interest civil lawsuit has also been launched in connection with the case. The fraudulent scheme began in February 2017, when Liu, facing financial difficulties, partnered with his friend Huang Bin to enter the bottled water business. However, due to the high cost of equipment and slow return on investment for legitimate production, they decided to counterfeit Yibao brand purified water instead. Pooling their resources, Liu and Huang Bin each invested 80,000 yuan to purchase equipment from Zhejiang Province. They rented a factory and warehouse on the outskirts of the city and hired workers to begin production in May 2017. To keep operations running smoothly, Huang Bin enlisted the help of his uncle, Huang Nong, to oversee daily production. Meanwhile, Liu and Huang Bin focused on business development and sales. Using tap water as their main ingredient, the operation merely filtered the water before filling it into empty Yibao-branded bottles. The bottles were then labeled, coded, and packaged for sale in various regions, including Leiyang, Hengyang, and Chenzhou. This counterfeit production continued for four months, until demand decreased with cooler weather in September, forcing the factory to halt operations temporarily. In May 2018, Liu and Huang Bin resumed production, calling back their employees to continue manufacturing the fake Yibao bottled water. However, in July of the same year, local law enforcement, acting on a tip-off, raided the underground factory. During the raid, they confiscated 1,190 cases of counterfeit Yibao water and over 60,000 fake Yibao labels. Investigations revealed that from May 2017 until the time of the raid, the illegal factory had produced more than 10,000 cases of counterfeit bottled water, with over 8,000 cases already sold. The case remains under further investigation as authorities work to ensure accountability and prevent the distribution of counterfeit products. *Reporter: Ruan Zhanjiang; Correspondents: Xie Yonghong, Chen Lin, Xiao Yuanyuan*
