This seems like the kind of thing where 3d printing is probably good enough quality wise.
Of course, the 3d printers themselves are probably being made in China.

3D printing absolutely sucks for production runs of more than a few dozen, and it produces finishes nowhere near as good as injection moulding.
Is that still the case? Even for a simple (presumably) board game piece?
Finishes are getting much better, especially with the high resolution resin based printers. But they are still slow and labor intensive compared to a "real" factory.
