Even before today's post-truth era, a fake Zouk had already popped up in China passing off as a branch of the popular night club from Singapore.
According to Mashable, there is a "Zouk Changsha" in Changsha, the capital city of China's Hunan province, which is also referred to as "Changsha Tianxin District Zouk Bar".
Posters promoting its event as early as April 2016 featured the Zouk logo.
But obviously, it doesn't belong to Zouk Singapore, which has a sister club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Not as if international DJs know or care if China has a fake Zouk, as it has pulled quite a few acts there to perform as recent as four months ago.
This is despite the fact Zouk Changsha premises were raided in July 2016.
Mashable reported that Zouk Singapore owns the Zouk trademark in China and had filed a complaint with the authorities in Changsha.
Subsequently, Zouk Changsha then appeared to have changed its name to "Zook" in its recent marketing collateral.
