The art of Chinese counterfeits has risen to a whole new level with the revelation that someone has created a fake website posing as the country’s food and drug watchdog.

The site was apparently set up to promote a diabetes medication, according to a report on government-run Web site china.com.

While looking very similar to the State Food and Drug Administration’s real site (www.sda.gov.cn), it has a totally different address — and was still functioning Thursday.

The fake site apparently was set up to promote the efficacy of some new diabetes drug, and even though reports about the site are circulating on international new wires, it is still up. Click here to see it.

If the site does disappear, here is a screenshot.
