Lego does have offices in Hong Kong, I don't know about the rest of China.
Interestingly, there is a Chinese Lego rip-off that they sell in some of the
dollar-stores here in Canada. The packaging (box shape and colours) is the
same, the pieces are the same, the themes are the same (Adventurers, etc.).
The logo is different, it looks kind of like the Lego logo but has Chinese
writing. It almost fools you until you open the box and see how cheap and
dull the pieces look compared to real Lego.

| (...) Yep, I've seen those too. The name on the box is rather appropriate: "SHIFTY". The box art is not just like Lego, it *is* the Lego art for those sets: sometimes you can even see the lego logo in the pieces in the picture. I bought one a while (...)
