It is surprising how many handicrafts in Tanzania have Made in China stickers on them even though they are being sold as locally made. English is a common language there so it's unlikely the locals don't know what the sticker says, it probably just doesn't matter to the tourists buying the stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if this was the case in many indigenous craft markets around the world.

Paris is full of guys with wares on blankets selling 100-for-5 euro Alibaba mini Eiffel towers for 3 euro a pop. People stop and buy them. It's baffling.
Or the "Christmas markets". Hahaha. What a scam.
