China is a large emerging consumer market. Quite a few brands have some of their guitars made in China. The link above the ad in the original post will take you to an AXL brand Chinese website. If you use Google translate you can navigate around the site . There is an interesting set of pictures showing a delegation (supposedly) from Fender touring the AXL factory. In one of the pictures you can see Fender branded guitar straps. Some of the acoustics look like the Sonoran series, and one picture shows a delegate holding a (Strat like object) routed body in production.

I'm sure that some of the Squire series products are made in China. It would make sense for Fender to carve out a position in the domestic Chinese market.

I wonder if Brad Traweek speaks Chinese??? or is there a Chinese Brad Traweek and do we owe him any money?

It is a fake guitar, don't buy it!
