CNN
E-commerce sites operated by China's Tencent and Alibaba Group were added to the US government's latest "notorious markets" list, the US Trade Representative's office said Thursday.
The list identifies 42 online markets and 35 physical markets that are reported to engage in or facilitate substantial trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy.
"This includes identifying for the first time AliExpress and the WeChat e-commerce ecosystem, two significant China-based online markets that reportedly facilitate substantial trademark counterfeiting," the USTR office said in a statement.
