Thought was fake branded product at first and just no one bothered to check, but apparently is available in Lenovo CN's store.

I wonder if this is because they are more likely to get away with the lies in the Chinese market. Or maybe the Chinese government even encouraged them to make it that way. Certainly the "FU" probably has a different connotation to the Chinese population.

Fu means fortune or good luck.

Or could simply "Flash USB"

Yeah, searching I only got Chinese pages and copies of this article itself. Tried searching directly too. I have a hard time they pulled it of shelves so fast that the internet already erased it... I'd expect at least "out of stock" pages to remain.

And the article doesn't even have an image of the product as sold.

Do you mean that it's only sold by the Russian branch of the unvalidated Chinese marketplace?

That's what google returned for me. Seems to be mostly chinese product, yes.
