Besides (除……之外，还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products(电子产品), there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.‎ ‎ "Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.
