iPhones are "assembled in China" but the "parts" aren't made in China, they're imported.
>>536232392Is there a single cellphone with one part made in the USA? Can you name a single one?
>>536232280even if the parts aren't from china, the rare earths that make em up may come from china
>>536232449yes, and I did in the post you're replying to
>>536232280Chips and memories are made in Taiwan
>>536232504>the rare earths that make em up may come from chinavery little rare earths in a smartphone. and a lot of rare earths come from outside of China. China dominates the processing of rare earths because it's very toxic and environmentally unfriendly, and China's economy is based on not giving a shit about that.

Did you know that almost all cell phones have parts made in Israel? yes, they can blow your balls off if you put it in your pocket.
>>536232652Not really the case anymore, no. China heavily invested in rare earths processing and production. There are just a handful of schools in the world that focus on rare earths and they are all in china. Literally nobody else teaches anyone how to process rare earths but china. This is why they have monopoly on this, because nobody else knows how to do it at the scale they do. For anyone else to try to pick the market, they would have to either convince china to let them study there, manage to steal a high level rare earth minerals engineer or to do everything from scratch based on decades old tech and hope china doesn't leaves you way behind while you crawl.

The most important ones happen to be the most abundant, anyone claiming you wouldn't have magnets or chips without China is a moron or a liar.
