As I recall - Leica sent their crew to handle QC and the
finished items were re qualified
by Wetzlar - I do not think this is the case with China made
cameras for the masses
Further - the infrastructure support is also China based

It means that it's less expensive for Olympus and other manufacturers to
have some equipment manufactured in China, just as it was less expensive
for Leica to manufacture some items in...gasp!...Portugal. :-)
You haven't discovered some dark secret here, btw...Olympus announced this
a year or two ago.
