Re: Chinese Telefang 2?

I don't know whether these are bootlegs or not, but while searching a couple of Chinese auction sites, I came across Chinese boxart for both versions of Telefang 2. The search I did was here
Power version
Site where I found the Power version
Speed version
Second pic of Speed version
I wonder if this is related to the pirated Pokemon Ruby? A search for the Chinese title shows up screenshots from the pirated Pokemon Ruby, although the Chinese title characters on the menu don't match the title on the boxarts (above) that I found. I kind of doubt they would be genuine, since i've never heard of a Chinese release of Telefang 2, but it's interesting to see they've used the official Telefang art from the genuine boxes. Perhaps there's a very small chance they could be a Chinese release that we haven't heard of? (although they're most likely 100% bootleg)
EDIT: I did some more searching online and found some more Chinese Telefang bootlegs:
Telefang 2 Speed version cartridge (notice the colors and cartridge are different to the cartridge of Speed i've already posted above): http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11080227501007
Telefang 1 Speed bootleg (I believe one of the members on this forum has the cartridge for this one?): http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11091129485248
Also, I found what seems to be a genuine (surprisingly) copy of Power limited as well: http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11090617482739
