Yep.

Here's where the Chinese characters are on my M30. This is not a Chinese copy; it's made by Mauser for export to China. The characters, on the bottom of the magwell, loosely translated, mean "Made in Germany".

The importers markings can also be seen in the relief above the trigger -

KFS ATL GA
C 96 7.63 GER

They stand for Keng's Firearms Specialties, Atlanta GA, rest is self explanatory...
