### Comment:
But that’s what a supply chain is.  Foxconn doesn’t make every little bit of an iPhone, those components are shipped from all over the world to China and then the finished product is shipped to their final destination. In many ways having manufacturing in the end market is a good idea, whether that is China, the USA, or Europe.

But the point is, the majority of the components arent shipped from around the world, they're shipped from asia (or just china). Why is manufacturing in the end market at all a good idea?
