If you have eggs from China in your fridge, immediately crack one open and check the followings (i) does the yolk melt quickly into the white? (ii) does the shell burn like paper? If the answers to both questions are 'yes', then congratulation, you have got yourself a fake egg.
Chinese people are born businessmen, and possibly the most creative type. God used mud to make humans, Chinese people use alum, gelatine, lactone, carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium choride, sodium alga acid, sodium benzoate, lysine, paraffin wax, calcium carbide and gypsum powder to make fake eggs. If you don't believe me, check this:
Why such hassle? It is of course money. Apparently, using a machine to make fake eggs reduces the cost in half in egg production. All those hens would be jobless soon. I wonder whether those fake eggs can be scrambled/poached/baked/fried/steamed? Would vegans eat fake eggs? This also adds a new dimension to the chicken and egg question.
Answer for the previous riddle: Oslo

Vegans don't eat fake eggs. Gelatine is made of pigs and cows. See the following from Wikipedia:
"Gelatin (also gelatine, from French gélatine) is a translucent brittle solid substance, colorless or slightly yellow, nearly tasteless and odorless, which is created by prolonged boiling of connective tissue such as skin, cartilage, and bones obtained from the animal processing industry."
On the first sight there is an extra dimension at the chicken and egg question. But the Easter hare brings eggs for many years already, but it didn't change the chicken and egg question. So, that didn't brought an extra dimension to the chicken and egg question. Why should a fake egg do? One thing is for sure the fake egg is earlier than the fake chicken.
This mostly-vegan is terrified by what you describe. I'm no fan of battery farms or even barn chickens but the fake egg ingredients you describe don't actually sound very egg-like.
As for fake chickens - I thought there were some horrendous things going on with genetic engineering in the US as far as breeding 'chickens' for a particular type of chicken meat, eg. breast, and sacrificing other 'non-essential' body parts.
