Lets take a AMD CPU.
AMD has CPU packaging factories in China and Malaysia
Yes image above is a Made in China version. If you live in the USA you only see the Malaysia version. Us living in Australia fairly much only see the China packaged version because unfortunately its the bigger plant. So I don't do business with China I don't have AMD CPUs. Of course the Malaysia version is using China made heat spreaders. So you did not buy from China yet you are still using a China made part that is not labelled made in China because it was not assembled in China.
Same thing starts happening once you parts trace all the bits that make up a motherboard for Intel chips. Apple are fairly much all assembled in China.
The reality like it or not lowflyer the phone/computer you are using to type on for you to get it someone somewhere did business with china to get something so it functions. So here you lowflyer being a total hypocrite its fine for the people supplying you with stuff todo business with china yet its not fine for me.
What made me more aware of Made in XXXX being bogus was seen Made in New Zealand frozen vegetables for vegetables that due to conditions in New Zealand don't grow there. Yep they turned out to be bulk frozen vegetables from China packaged into individual packages in New Zealand.
Since lowflyer I have done my homework properly I know what countries I can avoid buying products from completely. China is not one of them the reality is you basically cannot build a modern computer without something from China these days by one way or the other it has been that way for over 2 decades. So there is no way you have not broken you own request not do-to business in china because you are posting here. You are just happy with some other middle man to-do business with china where you have zero possibility of any influence.
