      Technically. However, the end product is sold by a US company, so from the gov. POV it is fine.

      Banning chinese manufactured products would mean banning a huge portion of the domestic market.

          Technically yes. However, most of the time, they just outsource manufacturing. Research and developement is still usually done in house. Apple for example, wrote the software and designed the hardware for the iPhone but assembles it in China because of cost.
