This is true. If you're old enough, you'll remember that products that
used to say "Made In Taiwan" almost immediately started reading "Made in
China" after the U.S. started trading with China again. Before that
time, Chinese goods were made in China, shipped to Taiwan and then
shipped to the United States. But there are still some Taiwanese
companies, like Asus. But I think most of their stuff is made in
mainland China anyhow.

" According to a 2022 report published by Acer detailing its production
suppliers, the company noted that all of its final assembly and component
manufacturers are located in China — a fairly common occurrence for major
Taiwan-based organizations, including Foxconn and its factories. In total,
the Acer has 12 major final assembly suppliers in the neighboring
country."

Back when Japan was saturating the US market there was a joke about 'Made
in Usa'  where Usa was a town on the outskirts of Tokyo.
