I suspect that Chinese also trusts 3M brand because random AliExpress products tend to have "3M" branded adhesive seal (perhaps fake).

An area of huge counterfeit is companies purchasing low cost legit adhesive with a 3M logo on the liner, and then coating a different adhesive on it that looks like it would work but doesn't and selling for profit.

Is that really a thing? I always imagined they would just counterfeit the liner too.

The liners can e quite complex with built in anti-counterfeiting technology.
