Hardware is arbitrarily priced, with the floor being as little money as it costs to make it, and the ceiling being how much competitors are willing to pay for it - the latter is much more of the driver of current pricing in the West than in China.

In a free market, the country would not matter, but Chinese models are often running on domestic hardware which does not directly compete with Nvidia GPUs and thus they can't get away charging as much for it.
