A lot of the less expensive ones are. There are still a lot of servo motors and drives being made in the Americas (not necessarily the USA) and Europe. I got back from China a few weeks ago after setting up a set of machines for a processing cell. Most of the machines I worked on had Siemens controls and servos. Some of them had Labview controls and Rexroth servos. Those machines had Parker hydraulics. But the ajoining cell had Japanese controls and robots and some of their controls are made in China. The plant was owned by an American based company.
