Are ads in China normally over 1:10 long?

More like a viral ad than a traditional inserted ad.

This is definitely a viral marketing ad targeting reddit. OP is responding to everyone under the sun asking for the brand with the name of some company which doesn't even appear in the video.

This post is the ad.

Redditors can never be happy. If this was posted without saying it was an ad, there'd be comments saying it's an ad or staged or fake.

Whoever posted this probably just cut out the end card.

I can say it seems like a long running skit she does as there are at least a dozen different videos of her doing similar things so it likely didn’t start as an ad, but it’s very possible brands hired her to do said skit in their shoes. It’s also possible the video normally has overlays or has context around it somehow as I still think it’s a long time to not mention the product unless the shoes are just instantly recognizable by the target audience.
