Is Konica Minolta copier made in Japan?

I am a copier repairman. I said Konica Minolta was a merger of two companies, Konica and Minolta, both Japanese brands. At present, domestic products are produced by domestic joint ventures, and most parts are made in China. The main accessories are Japanese, such as toner cartridges, carriers and fixing lamps.

At present, A3 format copiers sold in China are all close to Japan, and Ricoh, Canon, Sharp, Toshiba, Panasonic and Kyocera are all Japanese brands. It turned out that "Xerox" was an American brand, which was produced in Shanghai and was originally named Shanghai Xerox. Later, Xerox and Fuji merged and produced and sold in Asia, becoming "Fuji Xerox". In addition, the photocopiers produced by Lenovo and Aurora are OEM, and they are all Japanese intellectual property rights. It is said that Japan applied for intellectual property rights on the copier, so our country does not have its own copier now, so it is really helpless to boycott Japanese goods on the copier. However, small copiers (A4 format) are Samsung of South Korea and Hewlett-Packard of the United States. By the way, the Dutch Ossie has A3 format, but the sales volume is very small, and the machines are more expensive.

As a copier repairer, I think I have no choice but to buy a Japanese copier now, and we bought it in RMB, which already belongs to China, so we have to find ways to extend its life (if it is because of emotional waste of RMB, Japan will be very happy until you buy his new machine), because the replacement parts are basically made in China (of course, some are so-called fakes, but many domestic parts are more durable than the original ones). When our country builds its own copier, we can get rid of Japan.
