I bought my Pixel 4a specifically because it wasn't made in China (Vietnam). I would have considered upgrading to the 6 if it were made somewhere else. I also was considering a Google Titan security key until I learned they were made in China, too.
Google seems to be hiding the fact where the phone is made.
I think it's very important to know for a consumer to make an ethical choice.
Where they make it?
With Huawei behaving this way can we trust our electronic devices made in China? Are there devices purely made in South Korea or Taiwan?
(Note I don’t say this with some kind of anti-China sentiment, I’m pretty sure I’d be worried about the NSA back-dooring everything too if it was made in the US).
My latest smartphone is mostly EU with Taiwanese manufacturing. It's the best phone I've used yet. The only thing Google adds is branding. True enough about search engines though.
