It's a Ryobi so I went looking on the box to see where it's made, expecting to see "Made in China", but no, "Made in the P.R.C."
I'm guessing the maker company for Oz and NZ trying to disguise it a bit.

I paid about $500 for a Makita impact driver/drill combo several years ago. I am very happy with it, best drills I have ever owned and the build quality is great. They were made in China like so many quality brands are now. I wouldn't be worried too much that your Ryobi is made in China, the Chinese are capable of manufacturing quality stuff and Ryobi has a brand to protect.
Unfortunately there is a lot much rubbish coming out of China flooding the market with prices some can not resist.
I purchased a $95 chainsaw manufactured in China. I asked myself how bad could it be? It was so bad I would not give you 95cents for one....
