Is the Engine of the 2021 Camry Domestic?

The 2.0L version of the 2021 Camry's engine is domestically produced by GAC Toyota. The 2.5L version's engine is imported and belongs to Nissan. The engine model for the 2021 Camry 2.5L version is A25A, with a maximum power of 154KW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum horsepower of 209. The 2.0L version's engine model is also A25A, with a maximum power of 131KW, maximum torque of 210Nm, and maximum horsepower of 178. For daily maintenance of the 2021 Camry engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I recently researched the manufacturing situation of the 2021 Camry and remember that its engine is basically domestically produced. Toyota has a joint venture in China called GAC Toyota, which produces many models, including the Camry. The engines are generally manufactured in factories in Guangzhou, like the A25 model, which is fully localized. The reason is that China's policies require automakers to produce locally to increase employment and reduce costs, so Toyota has established a complete domestic supply chain. I think this is great because maintenance and parts are much cheaper. My friend who drives this car can get parts replaced super quickly. However, some people worry that domestic production isn't as good as imported original parts, but the quality control is very strict, and there are no major issues after several years of driving. In terms of technical details, the engine performance is stable, fuel consumption is not high, and it drives smoothly, making it trustworthy.
