        From raw metal, glass, silicon, rare earth metals to the shiny cardboard box it came in, it's manufactured in China.

        You really are a clown.
        Where did I say that? I'm sure you're reading the threads but is the information passing through your pupils absent of any processing? I mean dam.

        Many of the high quality components are manufactured in Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, or Japan, but certainly not China. My goodness do people back home know anything of the outside world when it comes to who the global players are?

        It's all very worrying. Just keep doing the shopping, let the rest of the world worry about the 'manufacturing'.

          We are the world leaders in manufacturing wealth through Ponzi debt.

          Just get in and out at the right time and you're laughing.

              I think there's overwhelming proof the answer is affirmative.
              Keep digging though, you do such a great job of exposing your imbecility, we can just sit back and let it unfold.

                Then take that and make it your business model to make millions. I reckon you'll be bankrupt in a week however.

                If you want high quality you assemble abroad, if you want strikes you make in England, and if you want quality & design in the same place you make it in Germany.

                  Yes, I like to keep abreast of such things, as I have an interest in electronics & manufacturing technology.

                  Chinese companies move into supply chain for Apple components - FT.com

                  Plus of course China is a good place to get plastic and CNC machined metal and wooden items made.

                    If you want high quality you assemble abroad in sweatshops, if you want strikes you make in England, and if you want quality & design in the same place you make it in Germany unlike the iPhone.

                      .
                      I work for one such Singapore manufacturer from time to time. I assist with the preparation of models so that they may identify weaknesses in the production, using probabilistic methods and such like. I'm very confident no Chinese manufacturer comes even close to this level of analysis. But they're learning.
