I've noticed a similar thing when buying products online. Overseas sellers from Asia will package their product as "Designed in Germany" or include a red cross to indicate Swiss design, but may not actually be designed or manufactured in Switzerland. Nice packaging though :)

Plenty of American firms do this too, notably Apple.

Made in China, Designed by Apple in California, lmao

		Kind of the ideal setup though. Apple’s design and engineering work has been great, China’s manufacturing can execute on it better than anyone else (see the issues with iPhone production in India). It’s like saying the ideal car would be designed by Italians, engineered by Germans, and built by the Japanese.
