iPhones are assembled in China. Put together. Its majority of parts are made elsewhere, Germany being the bulk producer of iPhone guts, micro-circuitry, screens elsewhere as well etc. Not so good an example. But for sure batteries are made in China and yes, the factories cheated on insulation, burning Samsung a multi-billion$ hole. As a rule of thumb, performance components made in China do not exist, from aerospace to, yes Macs. Processors? never China. SSDs? neither. GPU's ? not. technology transfer regulations prohibit it. However, some new technologies (e.g. CCBs) with new patents in China exceed the Brembo tech, but this is a rare case confirming the rule.
