I'm sure that there is an American auto company's PR arm clinging to the bottom of the rock and hoping that it can scuttle away before anyone flips it over.

(Seriously, anything with a screen in it likely has some parts that were made by Chinese forced labour, including whatever device you're reading this on.)
