A series of reports have highlighted a significant issue concerning counterfeit Royal Mail stamps originating from China, described as an act of 'economic warfare.' Investigations reveal that Chinese factories are capable of producing up to 1 million fake stamps weekly, selling them for as low as 4p each.
