Q: How common are fake degrees in China?
I just read about a prof at one of the top universities in China using a fake doctorate for 20 years.
How common is this?
What about among expats?
I found a weblink of ...:

Z Visa Timeline
Getting the Z visa itself is not a lengthy process and it normally only takes 3 - 7 business days for your application to be processed.
However, the length of the whole process, which starts from getting the necessary documents, i.e. scanned copy of college degree, Non-criminal record and more ... notarized all the way to actually getting your residence permit, depends on several variables and could end up taking a couple of months.
Here’s how long each individual step to becoming a Chinese resident usually takes:
Getting your documents notarized– around 3-4 weeks 
Spiderboenz:
There are regularly recruiters posting in job groups about fake degree notarization. Apparently certain unscrupulous for-profit “universities” partner with them, so it’s possible. Insanely expensive though.

University Hiring Grads From Philippines School Raises Doubts
I used to work with a British guy who had a fake MA in history. Stupid thing to do because he actually had a real BA, but he wanted the "prestige" of having a MA. He got caught after the school hired someone who was actually at that school in that program when he claimed to have been there. Fake MA got fired and black-balled.
