Maybe. That’s one of the economic motives I mentioned. China follows the principle of territoriality in IP protection, leading to outright infringement in every industry. When an outsourced product line has completed manufacture, the factory will make some modifications to cheapen material quality and begin producing counterfeits around copyright to flood the market, eventually diluting and undercutting the original manufacturer’s product line out of business.
