There is this perpetual balancing game being played. The rules have changed for different US agencies over the years, originally it was only "100% made in the USA" or maybe some select partners (the UK and Israel perhaps) but due to competitive pressures and pricing for a lot of federal products, it's okay to assemble in the US and source parts from where ever. DoD has slightly stronger rules and then really strong rules for some devices. Bottom line is to make any sort of computer at a remotely competitive price, you're probably going to use some Asian parts. At least some parts. Then it's a matter of where you draw the line and the price vs. risk. How about a Chinese power supply? It all depends on where and how the device is being used. Then it also depends on the system not "promoting" that device to another purpose. You can manage it all and make it from only 100% trusted sources, but you know what? It's insanely expensive and by the time you get a computer, there are ones on the market 6x better.
