That is not a great solution for consumers. People don't want cheaper counterfeits - they want the real thing. Ali doesn't do this better than Amazon.

I think you're missing the point. The point is you're going to get crappy counterfeits on Amazon, so it's better to just buy them on Ali where you'll get them cheaper.

If you want the real thing, don't buy on Amazon.

In fact, Ali does let you choose the seller of the item, and lets you contact him as much as you want before the transaction. So, no, Ali does this better than Amazon.
