深圳出現高盛融資租賃公司 Goldman Sachs opens in Shenzhen
After a fake Apple store, a fake Ikea and a fake branch of one of the world’s biggest banks China’s innovative copycats seem to be scaLing the value chain: all the way up to Goldman Sachs, the international investment bank.
在鼓搗出假蘋果店、假宜家店和全球最大銀行之一的假分行之後，創新的中國造假者似乎在向價值鏈上方爬升，把腦筋動到高盛(Goldman Sachs)這家國際投資銀行頭上。
Nestled in the boomtown of Shenzhen, bordering Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs (Shenzhen) Financial Leasing Company is the latest case to emerge.
在毗鄰香港的繁華城市深圳，最近出現了一家“高盛（深圳）融資租賃有限公司”。

根據登記資料，該公司在寶安區的一棟寫字樓開展經營，其存在是由總部位於美國的國際機械操作工人工會(IUOE)揭發的，該組織近來在開展反對澳門腐敗行爲的活動；澳門是一個允許賭場經營的中國特別行政區，離深圳和香港不遠。
The IUOE published a screen grab of the company’s website but the site has since been taken down.
IUOE發表了“高盛（深圳）融資租賃有限公司”的一幅網站截屏，但網站本身已被撤下。
While the Chinese government has repeatedly emphasised its desire to protect intellectual property rights, enforcement is lax and abuses of brand names and outright fakery are common across the Chinese economy.

While it uses the English name Goldman Sachs (Shenzhen) Financial Leasing Company, there is no evidence that the Chinese entity was masquerading as the international investment bank.
儘管其英文名稱是‘Goldman Sachs (Shenzhen) Financial Leasing Company’，但沒有任何證據表明，這家中國實體在假冒身爲國際投資銀行的高盛。
