- techrat 5y agoFind me a smartphone that is made in the US with no Chinese parts, then. Or anything that goes into a laptop. Or desktop. Those are the primary components/products that China needs to destructively mine and process raw materials for. Until we recycle electronics as a standard instead of a "we care about being Green(tm)" gesture... manufacturing is always going to go where it's cheapest.

Intel has several US foundries, and some ARM foundries are in the US as well.
