you won't have much credibility. And nothing to contribute to a discussion of the big picture of why practically the entire industry manufactures in China.

I get it, you have a hard on for Apple. A Mac user was mean to you once, or an Apple commercial irritated you.

That apparently allows you to pretend that Microsoft, Amazon, Dell, IBM, intel, etc etc etc don't use Foxconn for manufacturing.

And that is why you have no credibility on this issue.
