Not in China. This is an interesting topic on ethics and the profit motive. Probably beyond that its criminal.
Dr.Ndemo raises a point that is beyond this though. How have we opened up our countries to everything when we should actually be making a case for protecting nascent industries from unfair competition?
For example Japan and Korea still protect their motor industries even after 20 years; America and the EU still has major subsidies for its agricultural sector. And the list goes on as can be seen by cases piling up at the WTO:-

An interesting fact: Only Egypt and South Africa have cases pending both for or against them at the WTO. This begs the question:-
Don't African countries have issues to be resolved at the WTO? Doesn't Kenya? Last time I checked we were members...
This issue of fake eggs just brings to the fore the implications both from a health perspective and an economical one the effects of free trade across borders without proper mechanisms to protect citizens and local industry.

When ISO standards were introduced to Kenya, few of us paid attention.
Europe today insists on produce data including the soil type, amount
fertilizer, chemicals aaplied etc. Time has come when we need all poultry
data. There is evidence that it is far cheaper to produce conterfeit eggs
than waiting for the checken to lay them. See link below and why we must
be vigilant.

We need better scanning of all containers coming into this country and
possibly monitor movement of all foreigners who have doggy incomes.
