What (if any) is the factual basis for this statement?

(Based at least on some still just preliminary querying, we were
considering buying one and yet might be influenced in whether to do so
by a well-supported answer to this question.)



There's very little in the PRC that isn't "built" by a horribly
exploited workforce. Pennies an hour if they're lucky, in most cases. If
I see a product I want and it says Made in China, I simply don't buy it.

You may not like non-union PRC, but as usual you blow smoke. FisherPanda is
made in Poland.
