I'm very familiar with Foxconn and have at least two products made by them. This of course is despite the employees who work at foxconn and their strange penchant for suicide.

NP, the Chinese company mentioned in the Jobs interview is Foxconn which builds about 40% of the worlds consumer electronics.

Foxconn is not exactly Chinese in the way we have been discussing.

It isn't a PRC company, but a ROC company (Taiwan). Much of the PRC's economic achievements can be attributed to technology transfers, and probably more importantly International finance, and industrial Management expertise from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
There's a lot of others too such as Acer, Garmin, Yahoo, Youtube etc.

....Cars.com says the San Antonio, Texas-built Toyota Tundra has the most American-made parts of any truck on the market while keeping assembly line jobs in-house. :o ....
