Not just cameras. They do it with literally everything. That's the price and American company pays for getting a "deal" on manufacturing costs. Once you send manufacturing overseas you've lost your propriety.
And this can be scarily true, even a threat to our national security, and often causing us to pay far more on one hand, while we save money on a particular product on the other other hand.
So much technology is developed by American companies, and they need to command a certain price point to make their continued research & development profitable, rather than something that could bankrupt them.
And not just with technology, but with other things such as pharmaceuticals. Research & development can be the most expensive part of any product or drug. So when that's stolen, with impunity to the thieves, there becomes less incentive to create new drugs, or new technology, or new products. Then American jobs are lost, as we send our profits not just to foreign countries, but often to our enemies.
Even worse, sometimes it's not that our technology is stolen, but it is actually treasonously "given" to our enemies. Much of China's technology was given to them during the Clinton administration. They didn't steal all of it, albeit they may have bribed many corrupt people within our government. What Hunter Biden did may actually pale in comparison to what Bill Clinton has done, with total impunity.
All this to say, if at all reasonable or possible, buy stuff made in America, or at least from a country friendly to us, instead of a country hostile to us.
