Guys. You are missing the obvious answer here. More than half of the world's industrial robots are installed in China. Furthermore, they have been developing their internal supply chain for decades on end. Their economies of scale are very strong.

I swear, the orientalism is very strong on this post. It cannot be that a country is yielding the fruits of decades of hard work building up their industry. It has to be slave labor ...

It's not like this is coming out of nowhere, there's some pretty compelling reasons to be concerned about forced labor in the Temu supply chain.
