Why are imported instrument piping fittings several times more expensive than domestic ones?

Friends, we would like to ask when Chinese manufacturing will be able to catch up with European and American technologies. Feel free to discuss!
One cheap, three loves. If the prices are similar, the quality is also similar.
China also has high-quality imitation imported products; their performance is generally fully satisfactory, so be patient in your search.
In terms of workmanship, technology, cost, as well as quality and reputation
Both high-quality imitations and refurbished products are illegal. If you find imported products too expensive, you can opt for better domestic alternatives or imported brands that are assembled in China; however, high-quality imitations are not recommended
In short, only a few companies have high-precision sensors; others either imitate them or collaborate. It’s like when you buy a car – should you choose a domestic one or an imported one? For domestic instruments to catch up with those major companies, it will take about a decade for domestic manufacturers to invest the necessary resources in research and development and to focus on meeting the needs of users; let alone overtake them. In a deeper sense, the physical laws and mathematical knowledge that we learn today were all proven by foreigners; we are essentially learning from others, and they only teach us once they have gotten tired of using that knowledge. Moreover, domestic manufacturers all focus on the low-end market; most of their products are fake or of poor quality. There are countless small factories, so how many do you think in China are capable of producing high-quality products?
For instrument pipeline valves where high requirements are not imposed, there are several domestic manufacturers that produce products of fairly good quality, and these products work just fine in practice; for example, Jiangsu Xinghe
Many imported equipment and materials indeed have better quality than domestic ones, especially in terms of details. It’s not that all domestic products are of poor quality; after all, you get what you pay for, and some companies need to choose products that are cheaper
