Paramount Series 5 PDG

Did the production of the Series5 and 7 later migrate to China like the 2 and 3 models? Not much info around about these things if seems.
Thanks
Charlie

UPDATE
Just in ref to the road bikes made in Japan

Based on serial numbers that I have catalogued, in 1991-92 some PDG frames were made by Panasonic in Japan.

Also, read this thread:

Read Stan Cooper's ( @Scooper ) comments. Stan's father was as executive at Schwinn before the companies decline.
