U.S. Trade Office Watching Alibaba for Counterfeits

The U.S. trade office said it is keeping an eye on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's  consumer shopping website for sales of counterfeit and pirated goods, but refrained from putting the site back on a piracy blacklist. Alibaba has fought hard to tackle counterfeit products to keep its reputation from being tarnished in the run-up to, and after, its initial public offering last year.
