Yes, I quite forgot about that
Not every single part of every single thing was made in the same country
So basically sellers would have to start where each tiny part was made too
And where the item was assembled
Exactly. Apple products are full of Samsung parts (don't tell the Apple ra ra boys, they'd be horrified!).
My car is Korean made (Kia), but has parts from all over the world, including China. My last car was also Korean made (Hyundai) and was 14 years old, and absolutely nothing wrong with it, when it had an incident with a rather large kangaroo at 4.30am one winters morning. It also had components from all over the world, including China. I loved that car.
I don't know where the brake pads came from, but when the car was written off at 14yo, it still had the original brake pads on it. There was 130,000km on the clock. The original battery became a battle. It was still working perfectly after 12 years (yes, years), probably Chinese made, but Mr Tippy insisted it get replaced. I was enjoying the me against the battery battle, but Mr Tippy wrecked that!
Moral of the story is, not everything that comes out of China is carp. If they are manufacturing for a certain company, then they must produce the item to that company's specifications. If they don't, they lose the contract.
As for the OP, I would assume that nearly everything came out of China, unless told otherwise.
