Chinese subsidies are a thing but more likely the company has a local distributor.

They don’t wait for a buyer before shipping. They ship over a whole container load by boat, which takes weeks, but is the cheap per item.

They hold them here in a warehouse until customers are lined up, then ship from the stateside warehouse.
