Samsung has their own factory in South Korea, and Huawei has theirs in mainland China. Further, low-end smartphones and most dumbphones use Unisoc chips that are made in China. As for desktop computers, Intel has factories in the US, and AMD (GlobalFoundries) in Germany and Singapore. permalink fedilink source parent
