Tips

culture
Counterfeit grading slang: A (top-quality fake, often indistinguishable from real), B, C (progressively worse). Higher tiers: A (chāo-A, super A) and (yuándān, factory overruns from the same plant as the genuine product). Common in luxury-goods discussions on Xiaohongshu and Taobao.
usage
In jade trading, A has a totally different meaning: untreated natural jade — the genuine grade. B and C there are the chemically treated fakes. Context disambiguates.
