I have, in response to the above posts, just checked the Diana website. It does not inspire.

A cross next to the model presumably means it has been discontinued. The 280, which was promoted with some fanfare some years ago, has disappeared entirely.
We do not know, of those that are being made, what are made in China and what are made in Germany.
An email to Diana would doubtless clear up these questions but it is sad, as you say Robin.
If Weirhauch is now the only player in Germany, then we have reached a tragic situation, and the more so given that Diana/Original were of the same high quality.
