I was thinking I heard a report on the news saying that Toyota’s gas pedals were made in China.

Nope, they're made by a company called CTS in Indiana. They're also sold to Ford, which was using them in some commercial vehicles they were selling in China. That's where the China angle in the story showed up a couple weeks ago.

A lot of people think that Toyota's not being honest here, and that they were trying to shift the blame onto a non-Japanese supplier rather than admit it's their fault. Many believe that the problem lies in Toyota's software controlling the accelerator rather than with the pedal assembly or the floor mats, but that they'll never admit it until they're forced to.

CTS has a manufacturing plant in China.
