During a cultural event in Gujarat, a Chinese delegate, General Zeng, consumes a product called Tiger Soup and dies.
Despondent over the rejection, as Devraj abandons him to his own devices, Raghu strikes up a bond with Tanmay who explains the philosophy behind entrepreneurship to him.
Hao proposes that Raghu shall sell this product in India and suggests that it will be successful over there because Chinese and Indians are constantly thinking about sex.
Back in the present, General Zeng's autopsy is held up in diplomatic red tape, forcing Sharma and Gupta into trying to get to the truth through Raghu, who remains adamant about nothing being faulty with his product.
Rewinding to the past, Raghu puts together a team of talented young professionals to handle manufacturing and distribution of the product.
The team arranges a seminar but Vardhi accidentally walks into a parent-teacher conference; his impassioned plea to make sexual discourse normal in society goes viral.
Back to the present, Raghu and Vardhi appear before a preliminary commission consisting of several government agencies to explain their role in Zeng's death.
Raghu reveals that there is no secret ingredient in the soup; it is just rabdi, an Indian dessert, and implies that most sexual issues are more psychological than biological.
The film was announced in June 2018 with Mouni Roy and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles, to be directed by Mikhil Musale.
In late-August 2019, it was officially announced that the film had got a new release date, 25 October 2019, clashing with Housefull 4 and Saand Ki Aankh.
However, praising the performance of Rao and Roy, Vetticad concluded, "Made in China fails to hit the bull's eye because it sorely needed an evening out of pace and tone, depth of characterisation and detailing in the plotline.
