Is the 3DS region lock due to ebay and the cheap "made in" Honk Kong game?

Not all that far-fetched (and I say that as someone that actually got those HK games).

But what if Nintendo updates the system to block out those Hong Kong games?

(Lol at the thread title.  "Honk Kong"--like an Chinese version of Donkey Kong!)
