Cheapest Chinese manufacturing maybe 50 years back but the top tier manufacturers are right on top. They do great battery cells and high pressure die casting if you spec it out and want to pay. Huge amount automation. They bought lots of western world knowledge and equipment for decades and added to it. I speak from automotive industry and seen it with my own eyes.
