How many smart phones are made in the U.S.A.? Zero. Most if not all are made in China. Even if assembled in other countries ( not the U.S.A. ) almost all smartphones are assembled from parts made in China.

If the U.S.A “manufacturing” is so strong then why is not a single smart phone , personal computer , TV , radio, cell phone etc. made in the U.S. ? Go ahead prove me wrong .Show me that the U.S. manufactures smartphones( even one manufacturer?). And it's not just links that I have. I recently talked to many people at a cell phone convention. And they all told me they manufacturing in China because it is too expensive to manufacture in the U.S.A. (even some companies told me that the software programmers they use are in China.
Ditto for tens of thousands of other products like TVs, Ipads, kindles, radios etc.

Lets also take a look at the steel industry. China ALREADY makes 44% of the world's steel. And this is rising. Soon China will counquer the world. The U.S. used to be at that level in the 40’s, 50’s , 60’s and 70’s. And then the U.S. was on top of the world in everything. Now even though the technology has improved exponentially, and the population is many times greater the U.S. makes less steel they it did in these decades, like the 1950’s. A lot of this U.S. “manufacturing” is power plants ,mining etc. which are not manufacturing and still manufacturing declined from 17 million to 11 million now around 3% of the population and you all say the U.s. is on top of the world in manufacturing? Even if TRUE if you look at the DECLINE in jobs etc. then what we have will soon be gone and that means we have further to fall. When manufacturing jobs will be 1% of the population will you all still say we are the world's manufacturing king. No sirs that title belongs to china. and those communist monsters are buying up our banks( yes the china government is buying U.S banks and politicians) all you enablers are helping these communist villains steal all our technology and wealth as they China destroy us.
LOL!! Here you are tootin' the UN's America bashing and so now I'm the lib-dupe? Hey, I'm not talking politics, religion, or personalities here, I'm talking business. I'm getting rich banking on the easy to confirm fact that US industrial production has been climbing for years and in spite of the downturn we're about to punch through to an all time high.
China's production is a matter of opinion, and while you and your UN China fans say China's doing better, most everyone else likes US output more.
To each his own, it's a free country.
