In Zhongguancun in some shady stall on a very high or low e-mall floor, you can get lots of forged documents, including diplomas, IDs, passports, ....

Or at least you used to be able to. As with other commerce, I think this is all done online now.



IDs? You mean forged 身份证? That's the only ID that matters if you're in China unless you're a foreigner.

It sounds hard to fake a 身份证 because there are systems to validate their info. You'd get caught pretty quickly.


Oh, anything can be faked even if it isn't faked well. They work as long as the numbers aren't verified.

There was something about how Wen Jiabao's mom's ID number must have been stolen to drive a billion dollar empire...so, at least as far as the government officials are concerned, it happens (or to say, they use it as an excuse).
