Most western countries have laws that force manufacturers to put accurate ‘Made in’ labels on certain products.

Generally there’s 2 legal ways around that.

You can import the product 99% complete and finish the production in the US to give it a Made in US label, despite 99% of the manufacturing happening over seas.

The other is what Apple does

“designed by apple in california”

The products are made in China, but they are labeled as ‘Designed’ in the US
