Two extensive reports commissioned by HP Inc. now verify that Ninestar-Apex (Geehy) chips are the global suppliers for the counterfeit toner industry, with deceptive programmable chips that infringes HP’s copyright and trademark protections.

Furthermore you can go back to a 2016 article that states that a $488 million strategic investment was done by state-owned China Integrated Circuit Industry (ICF II) into Ninestar. Which AGAIN verifies the fact that Ninestar is a division of the CCP and why counterfeits chips were approved by this government to go after Epson consumables at that time.
