Is this an invention of the Chinese?

Could it be a Japanese style plane? Pull rather than push..

"Adjustable Wood Planer Cutter Planing Wood Carpenter Woodworking Hand Tool" - seems typical far eastern wording

Is it a scraper plane?

It's mental is what it is.
You'd be fettling that with a sledgehammer and the ancient handtool commonly known as the Longthrow.
At best.
Never mind drunk octopus thats octopus on PCP and meth.....

Looks like a metal version of a Chinese smoother (pulling plane), like these

That's what I thought, but the blade and the angle aren't right for that.

Pull asian style plane looks the better bet. Or drunk Octopus...

As said above, it's just a chinese plane pattern in metal instead of wood. They stand behind them and push, rather than astride of the work.

Also, "banggood" sounds more like the name of an...err...service provider than of a tool seller.

Exactly.

While Japanese and Chinese planes look the same - with a long toe - the rear handles on Chinese/Malaysian planes are intended for pushing.

This is an early Chinese wooden plane ...

Used like this ...

Modern Western versions of this style are made by HNT Gordon (in Australia) ...

All of you are wrong.

It's clearly a plane for Bikers!!
