Taxes and public relations
For all we know the entire thing is prepped for a final "stick 2 halves together" in the USA by robots.
Where do the parts comes from, and how much are they paying how many people to make how many items per cycle? |

The Nexus Q, which links a TV or home sound system to the Internet cloud to play video and audio content, contains almost all American-made parts. The engineers who led the effort to build the device, which is based on the same microprocessor used in Android smartphones and contains seven printed circuit boards, found the maker of the zinc metal base in the Midwest and a supplier for the molded plastic components in Southern California. HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

And it points to the simple machine monkey work being done in the country, but the really complex high tech painstakingly error prone part of the actual circuit manufacturing is definitely not being done here.

It's a start
The big problem with American electronic manufacturing right now is the lack of a colocated supply chain. If that can be supported and built up then building the whole product here will be more economical.
