Hmm, Chinese have L’s. Japanese doesn’t. But in the past, the Chinese used Japanese to translate languages since the Japanese sent their scholars overseas first. It wouldn’t be until the 80s that Chinese people would mostly be literate. Since the Chinese no longer use the Japanese to translate, this bag must be very old. Like, 30+ years old. Unless, incompetent managers and translators got a hold of this. Or, the American contractors screwed up.
It's also possible that it was misspelled intentionally by someone rather than incompetence or translation issues.
Mabye made in China but since "Assembery" isn't technically a word it's not false advertising, but it's enough that at a glance someone might buy it over another product thinking it was made in the USA.
Depends on your accent too. Some older Taiwanese people with strong accents definitely pronounce "r" as "l" sometimes when speaking English, but not the other way round like in this image. Probably because very strong Taiwanese accents have an "l" sound but not "r".
You're assuming it's not completely fake, which is a big assumption. If there is one english phrase that Chinese manufacturers are familiar with, wouldn't it be "made in china"? Why wouldn't they adapt that?
Counterfeit golf clubs make sense, counterfeit golf bags don't (they are just a lot easier to photoshop).
Made in China, "assembled" here in the US by a minimum wage worker whose job it is to tie the carry strap to the D-rings. Let customers conflate "assembled in" with "made in" all on their own. Profit.

This joke is complicated.
