Is this legit Winsor & Newton?
I'm looking to buy Gouache that can ship to Indonesia and found this:
aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-winsor-newton-gouache.html?isrefine=y&site=idn&groupsort=1&SortType=price_asc&g=y&SearchText=winsor+newton+gouache&initiative_id=SB_20160502052142&shipCountry=ID&needQuery=n&pvId=6-100007673
It has chinese characters and even labelled as "poster color". Is it a knockoff?

Windsor and Newton paints have been manufactured in China for a few years now. It's most likely the real thing.
Poster color is a more watery form of gouache (less binder). It's the stuff the use for animation backgrounds (think of Ghibli and older anime shows) and in classrooms.

but winsor and newton don't even produce poster color, so I'm pretty confused

I've found that on Asian sites like this "poster color" and "gouache" are used interchangeably. But judging from the fact that the W&N paints are in tubes and not jars (poster color is always in jars), I'd say it's really gouache.
If you're worried about this you can order the Pebeo instead.
