The Ten Best Smartphones Not Made In China

Asus, LG, Sony, Samsung Galaxy

The following laptop brands aren’t made in China:

The following laptops are mostly made and assembled in countries outside China. However some of their components may still be made in China.

1) Toshiba

2) Fujitsu

3) Samsung

4) Panasonic

5) Sharp

Given how critical avoiding Chinese products will be to our health and safety as a nation, something to think about when you make purchase decisions.

When Apple decides to move production out of China, I’ll be happy to add them to the list. Till then, they remain part of the problem.

This would be about security risks, nothing to do with health.

You're not getting COVID-19 because your phone was made in China.

You’re not looking at the bigger picture.

It actually is, although it may be COVID-20 or 21. In order to force them to change behavior, globalist need to have the screws put to them.

"Build in China? Good luck with that."

Once corporations learn we're not buying their Chinese stuff, and pull out, that's how you force China to do something about their abysmal health problems.

Sad, but true. It's time to pressure companies to avoid China.

Yea that ain't happenin anytime soon with the infrastructure put in place in southeast Asia.

Many of the parts aren't manufactured in China though, that whole colony of countries in southeast Asia handle most of it

Kind of hard to do when the mines are there. And can't be found elsewhere.

It looks they're trying.
Apple investing in India

And it's part of a larger push to remove dependency on China, which I think is hugely positive.
Supply chains leaving China

Trump tried his damnedest to sway Tim Cook to bring the jobs home. At $1500 an iphone - how can we NOT manufacture in the USA a 9oz device and let folks in America profit? Apple still makes awesome products but when the day comes that someone dominates their arse I will move from their products with a quickness.

Tim Cook has been actively trying to move some Apple operations to the US, so I don't think Trump's efforts have been for naught.

The Mac Pro is going to be made in Austin (older Mac Pros were too), but with a ton more sourced parts from the US, as I understand it. Not sure when or if we'll get assembly of other products in the US, but Apple is already heavily dependent on American component suppliers.

There's not a single manufacturer of processors, memory, power supplies, etc in the united states, and that's not changing anytime soon.

I wish Apple would come home. I’d pay/subsidize a USA made iPhone that cost an extra 200$ or so. We need a big boy to come home and Apple would be a great one.
