As I already said I genuinely don’t know. I could find sources for any answer if I interpret the question appropriately. As you posed the question any answer could be correct. Is it China? The United States? A developing African nation? Who knows! You brought it up. It’s on you to answer.

To those of us with more than a passing interest these details matter a lot. I don’t have the energy or desire to go back to first principles on this with you.
