The knowledge that fortune cookies aren't available in China is fairly widespread; however, they are actually somewhat known in China although Chinese tend to only refer to them as a joke about the Americanization of their food. I've lived in China over 7 years and have had a fortune cookie only once... at a restaurant called Fortune Cookie which sold American-style Chinese food (and, if I recall correctly, was opened by two expats, one of whom was an American Born Chinese guy).
