Do anti China Western critics generally treat Apple daily in HK as a good example of highlighting the concept of Free media - editorial independence If a good is manufactured outside of the US by a US company and is then sold in the US does that mean it is exported from the country of manufacture and imported into the US? So, for example if Apple manufactures their iPhones in China and then brings them back to the US does that count as an exported good from China on China's balance sheets and an imported good on the US's balance sheets?
