I think I saw an edited version of this video circulated on whatsapp a few years ago with the message / implication "beware of <country> ... they are making fake food to sell in our country". Ashamed to admit I was rather convinced by what the video was depicting at the time. There was a fake egg and "plastic rice" etc.

If Process X Channel created this video themselves I don’t think this video is what you saw in WhatsApp years ago. Process X uploaded the video 4 days ago.

  I think he's talking about the "chinese are making fake rice/eggs out of plastic" videos that were making the rounds a few years ago. It's definitely not a recent thing. eg. https://old.reddit.com/r/InterdimensionalCable/comments/uq6tti/how_to_identify_plastic_rice_from_real_rice/ https://old.reddit.com/r/InterdimensionalCable/comments/uq6t... https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1hrnbf/til_that_there_is_a_counterfeit_egg_industry_in/ https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1hrnbf/til_t...

    Yes, and not just eggs and rice. I remember seeing a video that was almost identical to the first few seconds of the video posted in OP above. (Making of a fake cabbage) Check out this debunking article from 2016. Videos like these, with misleading edits and commentary, have been making the rounds for many years now. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/assmamaad/the-chinese-cabbage-conspiracy-theory https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/assmamaad/the-chinese-c... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chinese-synthetic-cabbages/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chinese-synthetic-cabbages...

At least you can admit your mistakes and change your mind about something!
