China Wholesale Companies

I am not usually the kind of person that shops a lot online but my friend told me a way to get cheap basketball jerseys so I checked it out.  Jerseys from major league teams usually cost somewhere in 100-200 dollar range.  However, there are Chinese wholesale websites that sell these same jerseys for 20 dollars.  When looking at this I figured that this has to be illegal and trampling all over copyright laws.  Is there a loophole?  For example, if the NBA logo is not put on the jersey can they be made at will?  Or is it because copyright laws don’t apply the same way internationally?  Either way I have no idea how these companies aren’t shut down for copyright infringement.

    There are always places to find knockoff items. I guess one way to think about it is that someone who buys the logo-less jersey probably wouldn’t have bought the other jersey, yet may drive up demand for the original.
