Your phone was made in China. Most of the components were manufactured in Taiwan. Same goes for every chip in your car, and very likely for your Japanese microwave too.
None of those chips for your computer, your phone, or your car were made in the US, and thanks to Lil Donnie's tantrum against the CHIPS act, none of them ever will be.
My phone was made in Vietnam. And last I checked, Taiwan is not part of China.
You cannot be that ignorant. ‘Made in X’ in a such globalized and distributed economy is nothing but a matter of tax design.
