Why do Chinese love numbers and TM names?

[999names]

Going through daily registers and changes in servers I came across these domains owned by Chinese. It amazes me how many TM names there are in this list. I usually check these lists to see what the international community considers valuable in domaining and what do they register.

I believe some numbers sounds like words, example is 4 sounds like word for death ......don't think they like that one much !

The Chinese may hate "4" but they sure do visit parking sites with "4" in them.

because a lot of asians(or other nationals) don't care about TM's, just google "cheap gucci" and you will have a bunch of results with fake gucci merchandise presented on stores run by asians(or other nationals)...

(works for iphone or anything else too), LOL

Or maybe it's the difference in law enforcement.

I believe in America, TM law enforcement is so overbearing, they will shut you down first, ask questions later, file no charges, only to be ordered by a judge to return what they seized, with no apology or damage compensation.

.... although i'm not sure if the Chinese Communist Party had executed or hanged people for TM violations.

I may be wrong but doesn't Thailand not recognise trademarks at all ?

Thailand has a trademark registry office. You might be able to buy plenty of fake stuff in shops and so on, but they have and recognize TMs.
