This is from 2003. What is it now? 1-2%??? Do you think the number is going down or up based upon the statement below?

The number of televisions with screens 20” or larger exported from China to the United States has soared to an estimated 2 mil sets this year from less than 16,000 sets in 2000. According to industry experts, only about 1.5 mil of the 32 mil sets sold in the United States annually are made here; the rest come mainly from Mexico and Asia
Nobody makes TVs here anymore. It’s not worth arguing about, nor utilizing rhetorical devices to keep arguing about, sheesh.
More importantly there isn’t a single LCD manufacturer in the US either. That’s where the things are going anyway, the “tube” being obsolete.
LCD production is too “polluting”, which is apparently one of our biggest exports - any industry which isn’t clean enough for the greenies.
