Can plastic injection moulding and tooling be manufactured in China?

Injection moulding is the default process for plastic parts at volume, and the moment a buyer commits to a mould it becomes the most expensive decision in the project. The tool is a one-off capital cost that only makes sense against a realistic total volume, so the honest question is never "can it be moulded" but "at how many units does moulding beat machining". In practice the answer is almost always yes for a lawful physical product, and the useful question is which process and at what volume. For this category: Generally 1,000 pieces for a simple single-cavity part, 3,000+ where the part is large or has multiple cavities, because the tool cost has to be spread. USD 1,500–5,000 for a small simple single-cavity mould; USD 5,000–20,000 for medium complexity with slides or multiple cavities; above USD 20,000 for large parts, hot runners or family tools. Steel grade, cavity count and finish drive it more than part size alone.
