Of course it was cheaper,
Developers in China are probably working from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week (the infamous 996), while in the US they are allowed to have private lives.

I'm sure that there are also other reasons for the budget difference.

If you just spending money within China, 400'000'000 RMB is acutally similar to $400'000'000 in the US, that is given you don't buy foreign products. Hope that can explain why the cost is much lower compared that in the US.
