Imitation game is just the beginning for Chinese companies. I am not sure that you know that many famous brands are in the Chinese hands now: Volvo, Saab and Motorola are now chinese.
They even bought luxury hotel Waldorf Astoria from New York. And they have pure Chinese brands as well for example: Lenovo.
Here we have - ranking of the most valuable Chinese brands:

Volvo, Saab, Waldorf Astoria and Motorola were not Chinese companies initially, every rich guy can buy these companies. I only know few China brand in your pics, never heard about most of them.
The bolded part is the answer for your post because everyone have a tendency to get more profit and so does the Chinese. As I have stated, Chinese are speculator and dare to take a risk therefore whenever there are something that they "think" can earn them some profit then they will surely go for it. No matter what kind of business that they would do as long as it isnt illegal they will probably do it and that is what kind of chinese mentality is ( also some illegal things as well I supposed )
P.S : yeah right on the nail with the imitation product however some of their products are actually top notch brand
Well I think there is no special with chinese then, actually I want to know is there something behind their character why they dare to take a risk, like astrology, doctrines, etc.
I got an interesting article about facts and details of China business.
