One reason would be the foreign market's distrust of Chinese electronics, I'd imagine there'd be a period of cheap prices followed by raising prices to whatever the market value is at the time. Overall they'll still probably drop the prices long term.
It's selling out at comparable prices though.
Honestly the prices I can't find aren't even cheaper than Samsung or Kingston. Maybe it's cheaper to buy from China if you live in Australia than in Europe.
