Perhaps. But I think you may be underestimating by several orders of magnitude the cost of materials... materials that often aren't made in China or that comes with healthy licensing fees regardless of where made. Gore-tex is not Chinese. Neither is Cordura. Nor 3M scotchlite. Etc.
They may be making a killing by not passing on production savings, but I don't think so.
FWIW Klim gear is too expensive for me... I wear Aerostich gear.
