I think its a matter of who added the most value to the product. Apple puts, made in China designed in the USA on their products. Its an assertion that the value comes from American Engineers and Designers.
Apple does this because it has enough media attention that they couldn't get away with saying anything otherwise. My guess is that there are companies with less scrutiny that have "final assemblage" in the US and can call themselves a "Made in the USA" product. -Again, only a guess. Sorry for only having cynical speculation in this thread. I'll stop now.
I don't think that's relevant here, mostly because you can't add value to a service, really. The article points out that most of what Americans spend money are either really small things or services, and the services tend to come from America, plain and simple.
