All it takes is a little research. You can find a US manufacturer for almost anything if you look hard enough. Most people don't want to pay the higher prices that sometimes come with many of the products.

Find me a single electronic device on the planet that isn't made with some Chinese parts. AFAIK all passive electronics components are made in China.
There's no way the DOD would allow only China to make components that their contracts require. I'm sure there are domestic producers.

Here's a site from a quick search. https://www.tedss.com/LearnMore/American-Made-Capacitors

Here is a site for US built computers with the option to specify US only components. https://usamadeproducts.biz/electronics-computers.html

You misunderstood my point:

Made in USA != all parts made in the USA. Kinda like how "Made in the USA" cars/trucks are often 90% made overseas then sent to the US for final assembly to earn that sticker.

I'll ignore the fact that the very first link in your computer URL is Apple, which does not have a 100% made in the USA product.

The second computer company in your link is Digital Storm. They use MSI boards which are made in Taiwan and China.

No, I didn't miss your point. The link I posted has computer manufacturers that say they can use US based components, including in-house engineered parts. I also showed that components are made in the US and that the DOD contracts will require that Chinese parts not be used.
