The remarks came as Bestseller Fashion Group announced it would open a flagship store for its popular Danish clothing brand Jack & Jones on Taobao, which is owned by Alibaba Group. Dan Friis, cofounder of the clothing group, also told reporters at a briefing that Taobao has strengthened its stance against counterfeit goods, though the sale of those goods may have helped boost the site's growth in past years.
