Over the years, China has been known for producing all kinds of knockoff products, from shoes, clothes, to electronic gadgets. Recently, news came to light about the widespread availability of fake doctor’s certificates.
Mr. Li, owner of a clothing factory in Shunyi District in Beijing, came to realize that many of his employees on sick leave were not ill after all, reported Chinese news portal Sina. Li first caught onto the scheme when he tried to visit his employee’s home when the worker went on sick leave, only to discover that the worker had secretly taken on a second job as a security guard.
