If you bought it from China, it's 99% certain to be fake. If you bought it from a private seller in China, it's 100% certain to be fake.

Faking Chinese goods in China is likely to end up with the death penalty, so they'll make it obviously not an accurate replica. Faking non-Chinese goods is of course welcomed by the Chinese government.
